Einige Lektorinnen und Lektoren bieten es an auf ihrer Website: fehlerfreies Lektorat, und das auch noch ab einsfuffzig pro Seite. Die Enttäuschung auf Kundenseite kommt unausweichlich, denn annähernde Fehlerlosigkeit auf allen Ebenen lässt sich nur im Sechs-bis-Acht-Augenprinzip umsetzen – und das kostet nun mal. Im engagierten Lektorat wird man immer nach Fehlerlosigkeit streben, aber diese zu garantieren, ist unseriös. Nicht zuletzt ist das, was sprachlich falsch oder richtig ist, häufig diskutabel; auch die großen Wörterbücher und Grammatiken stimmen keineswegs immer überein.

Sicher kennen Sie die Geschichte, dass man den echten, handgewebten Orientteppich an kleinen Fehlern erkennt, denn nur Gott und Maschinen machen keine Fehler.

We examined whether the standard deviation (SD) of luminance distribution serves as information of illumination. We measured the lightness of a patch presented in the center of a scrambled-dot pattern while manipulating the SD of the luminance distribution. Results showed that lightness decreased as the SD of the surround stimulus increased. We also measured pupil diameter while viewing a similar stimulus. The pupil diameter decreased as the SD of luminance distribution of the stimuli increased. We confirmed that these results were not obtained because of the increase of the highest luminance in the stimulus. Furthermore, results of field measurements revealed a correlation between the SD of luminance distribution and illuminance in natural scenes. These results indicated that the visual system refers to the SD of the luminance distribution in the visual stimulus to estimate the scene illumination.
