I’m guessing that all writers have created this rule, or some variant. Mine, from 25 years ago (concerning user manuals) was this: no matter how many times you proof the book, the first page you turn to after it’s printed will have a typo. Almost word-for-word identical.
OK, not word for word. Just the same sentiment. It is, therefore, a universal truth.
