I think I said this when we were talking about copy-editing the other day, but I think a lot of people resist it because they take it personally when someone tells them they have made a mistake. The thing is, EVERYONE does it. Even though I moonlight as a copy-editor, when I write for my (main) job, I ALWAYS ask someone to copy-edit me, because the more time you spend on a text, the LESS you actually see dumb mistakes like typos and subject-verb disagreement. Not having your text copy-edited is the easiest way to undermine your own credibility. Hooo, boy, are you ever right on the copy-editing!
