I would say that good writers do that and poor writers don't. Is Mr P saying that the writer of the text which was "full of typos" is a good writer?

On the general point, though "good writers" may take care to draw the reader's attention to unusual usages, not all writers who draw the reader's attention to unusual usages are "good".

On the particular point, which typo-ridden text do you mean? There have been so many.
