FWIW, I am not envisioning coming up with anything that can replace human eyeballs.
nobody is. don't be confused by noring's straw-man.
As has been mentioned by others (probably Jon, but I'm too lazy to go back and find out), I'm looking for tools to help those eyeballs work better.
right. by, for instance, directing those eyeballs to the places where they _need_ to focus, and by _not_ directing their attention to the places where they _don't_ need to focus (false alarms). that's patently obvious to anyone with a brain. but the thing about straw-men is _no_brain_! of course, eyeballs aren't the only things that must do work in this progress. fingers do too, in the summoning of files, correcting of text, and subsequent saving of files. all that work is rather inconsequential if you're doing it for a single file. but if you're doing it for 15,000? then you need tools that do that automatically. otherwise, your error-correction workflow becomes subject to errors itself, as well as something worse -- administrator burnout. -bowerbird p.s. got schiz on the spelling of your name, eh?
