where's your data that validates that?

i think when you clear the page of
"the easy stuff", it becomes _easier_
to find "the stuff that's left", because
you're not distracted by the easy stuff.

it might _feel_ "less effective", since
you're making fewer corrections, but
the ones you do make are more vital.

what usually happens is that it takes
one round of proofing to remove the
easy stuff, and another for the rest...

what i say is to make the first round
a tool-aided round, to preserve your
human resources, so the humans
only have to do one word-by-word
round, which is the difficult process.

besides, it's not as if zero satisfaction
comes in the tool-aided round.  myself,
i feel _greater_ satisfaction there, since
my efficiency is boosted _considerably._

and in a roundless system, anything that
moves a page closer to "finished status"
is a good thing, because that's the goal.

just _offer_ people a good tool to use;
you will find they enjoy it immensely...

by the way, dkretz has a new version of
his tool available now, at the usual place:
