Bold is a valid point.
The bottom line is, as it always is, money. 99% of trade publishing ebooks are done in India, and the Indian firms (and yes, this isn't rumor or speculation) hire off the street and train by rote, period. It's the way of it.

The bookmakers get paid and they're happy but they have zero troubleshooting skills because they rarely understand what they are actually DOING, or why they are doing it. Whaddya expect for $0.99/hour?
