Oh yeah, agreed (I used to edit professionally as well). But at the very least, a good content editor might ask more critical questions of her, as opposed to just saying "you dropped a comma here." It might not necessarily help, but it's not impossible an editor might note "this scene doesn't fit with Anita as we know her; is there anything you can clarify" or whatever. I'm pretty sure a good content editor hasn't been near LKH's books since way before NiC though.
