Hmmm... and I, on the other hand, do not see publishers who are uninterested in the relatively easier work of making their book's typographic quality not plainly broken, be courageous in their undertaking of the considerably more difficult problem of general proofreading and rigorous content correction that constitute a lengthier and more arduous set of tasks.
But, to be honest, if I did think it was an either or proposition, I'd follow you in preferring them to do the proofing properly. After all, I can typeset the book myself more easily than I can proofread it.
