Indeed.  *Some* people shouldn't be allowed to transcribe at all - they have 
no aptitude for it.  Others need to be humble enough to seek help when 
they're stuck.

What prompted this was Stella McNichol’s note on the text to Mrs Dalloway 
where she names the locations of the MSS material and says “It remains 
unpublished, but was transcribed in full, from photocopies kindly supplied 
by the libraries in question, by the present editor some years ago.” It’s 
always useful to compare different transcripts of the same manuscript 
material in case one transcriber was able to read something that another 
transcriber missed.
