They all assume that somehow, magic will happen and it will all come out perfectly. Dunno why on earth they think that either.

I've seen some right messes from scan/OCR that have been fixed.
Hyperion by Dan Simmons was very much a mess and has since been cleaned up.
But they should be need to be cleaned up. They should be correct in the first place. A spell check would catch a number of errors easily.
