I think it depends on the beta. Some can be awesome. Some...maybe they shouldn't be doing it. I never think it hurts to have a second pair of eyes, or even to read your stuff aloud, which I do sometimes. I tell my sister to do it too with her coursework for uni. It works for anything written.
But your last point? That's true, and also amusing ;)
