Testing the Editors	comment	Sometimes, a writer doesn't want Protection from Editors. Perhaps they have enough self-awareness to realise that they are as capable of bad writing as anyone else. Or maybe they just see the value in their work being appraised by a fresh set of eyes. Either way, they view the editor's role as a valuable and worthwhile one. But how to be sure the editor is doing their job? Put something in just for them to catch. It could be a plot hole, something that doesn't work, or that the editors won't let past. The point is that the writer has no intention of it being in the final product. They're just testing the editor.

Also see Getting Crap Past the Radar for moments where editors fail the test and unwittingly allow more risque content through the publishing process. Examples:
