If someone couldn't be bothered to even click the red squiggly to fix a spelling error, what hope is there that he put in the time to get the facts fight? Also, why do people care about manufacturing imperfections in the build of products that don't affect functionality? As customers we expect polish in our products.

Red squiggly lines? You're presuming he's using a word processor with spell-checkers. Some people just don't use them (like me, as of late - I used to, but I no longer do. No party reason why, I just don't)

Ironically, your comment also contains a typo.

When I see glaring typos in NYT articles, I infer the author typed them on his phone in the bathroom, like I did that post.

People pay for the New York Times. They're writing as a profession. And an article is supposed to be a polished product, that goes through editors. People writing comments on Hacker News are amateur writers. Different standards apply.
That said, I appreciate the irony.
