I only meant for people who find they can't let go of a story for being too critical - having a deadline to give it to a beta might help them to let go.
But I'm an advocate for betas in general, even though I don't use them myself, but they need to be good or there's no point. As I've said before, I make a bet with myself when I see a story with three or more betas: that I'll see a grammatical error within the first paragraph or two. I never lose that bet. :-) A poor beta is a waste of time. A good one is a treasure.
