Abstract
In a recent paper (Yang et al. (1982)) a model for proofreading was proposed in which a reader has a fixed probability p of detecting a misprint in a document containing a Poisson number of errors. This note points out that the conclusions derived from such a model can be extremely misleading if the probability of detecting a misprint varies from one misprint to another.
