I concure. Libraries are critical and lots of cash is dependent on their 
being correct. A bad pattern can screw up a board costing thousands of 
dollars.

To me the question is two parts. 1) proper deffinition - is the pattern 
the right pattern, trace pitch width position etc. and 2) correct; if 
the pattern is the expected pattern for a part is it correct and thus 
can the board be built and parts attached. If you get it wrong things 
are a major pain in the tosh.
