To be fair arXiv does have moderators and admins that watch articles coming
in, and students that eyeball all metadata, fix/flag obvious errors, and look
for journal produced PDF. However, if we all went on holiday then arXiv would
accept everything and keep announcing ~250 new articles daily.
Cheers,
