Myself and most other programmers I know have at least once (more like 100 times) had the experience where you can't figure something out in some code you've been staring at for an hour, then another person comes along and immediately sees an obvious glaring error that you missed.

I can only imagine the same thing happens in newsrooms with text, especially when it is visibly very similar, like "2002" and "2022."

That's why all news stories are supposed to be reviewed before publication by a second person

Newspapers used to have copyeditors for this kind of thing. I thought NYT still did.

They do and yet they also can make errors

Youd expect them to have a checklist too though.
