Obviously you know the answer to that..

"Proofreading" is not the right term for what you are concerned about.
"Reviewing" would be more accurate.  Yes, technical books are generally
reviewed; however, the reviewers can make mistakes too, and even if they
don't, due to the iterative editing of the manuscript mistakes can occur.
