That's right, you didn't. Instead, you made a very unspecific statement.

I'll occasionally see profanity used in fansubs when the speaker is unlikely to speak that way either because of their personality, character type, or situational context. But to be honest... if the original dialog didn't have it, there's not usually a reason to add it. Basically, such antics start trending towards "joke subs" or "What's Up, Tiger Lilly?" rewrites.
...it is because of flavor that certain characters don't cuss, and it is also because of flavor that there are times when profanity gets added.

Strangely, there's some correspondence between effort and time-to-release
No actually, there's not.
A release that takes a week can still be complete shit, have errors, whatever.
I think what you'd really like to say is that people need to be more competent to begin with.
