OK, here is how flawed your reference is:

On one hand, it says this:

"To begin with, a technical editor should not be responsible for verifying the accuracy of the technical content of a publication. "

Then, it says this:

"Technical editing is really a quality control job. "

Sorry, you cannot have one without the other...

How would you reconcile these two statements???? I don't see how you can. I see alot of THEORY in the website that is not predicated in REALITY...

Care to explain???



>>Yes, TE stands for Technical Editor. That said, Technical Editors SHOULD be experienced with the techncial material they are editing.
