That's exactly where the issue resides, Jim. The user needs to find the problem first. In this particular case, the user is not the most reliable person to detect problems in the text because he or she has not seen it before. If the problem is not that visible or is mildly integrated into the text - and this is a real possibility - the user would just skip it. You need someone to look carefully for errors. That's the main reason books needs to be revised in the first place. Without the publisher defaults on, it is possible that the user wouldn't even noticed it.
