And how would you know this? Long experience as a formatter or PPer?
It's not hard to see, actually, when a P3 or others make changes which don't match the page images. You just have to actually look at one and then the other. I've seen many great proofers at all of the P1, P2, and P3 levels. I have also seen "well reputed" P3's who turn out results that don't match the page images. The text they create scans perfectly fine, it's just that it's not what the author wrote -- particularly when it comes to punctuation. Best way to get great results is to have people working on a text and an author they absolutely love, not just cranking out the numbers.
