On pl.wikisource each correction level means that another person did the
correction again. The green status means the page was corrected three times
by three another persons.
Corrected, not read.
In my opinion Big Green Button Correction is useless. New users can click
only for stats, not for proofreading. And nobody would check it again,
because the book would be finished.
We are asking new users to validate the pages for the second time (from red
to yellow level): new users can learn how the templates and raw codes are
working, but when they do something wrong, an experienced user would check
it one more time -- to make it green. If they would not edit the page, they
would never know how the templates works. So they would not become a better
editors...
We all can do only red pages, why not. We'll get a "perfectly readable and
functional book" with some errors. But should we give its the same status
as a proof-read three times book? Green status means "almost perfect". We
shouldn't make green pages automatically, only to make our stats better.
Correction without correction is not a good idea. It's a lie.

You're mixing a little bit « validation » and
« perfection ». For
example, if a page contains « word » or « wоrd » instead of « word
», it's not perfect but it's valid as it invisible for 90% of
readers and tools (plus, there is other tools to detect this specific
errors).
maybe...
but, there's another concern about the BGB (mentioned by Ankry), the
mental problem of new users - when they "validate" in edit mode or Visual
Editor and notice a typo (or absence of comma) it is just a click to
improve the text, but. .. in view mode, after noticing the error, you have
to do IT all (which is such a inconvenience causing BGB proposal): enter to
the edit mode, find again the same place in the text, place the cursor ...
I'm afraid of thinking like: "Uh ... it's just one comma, I click right
away in the BGB...
Z.
That a very good concern and I agree with you but how does the BGB will
change anything in this situation?
In fact, in this case, the problem is ni the edit mode, not in the BGB.
And the solution is not to forbidden tool or edition but to explain to the
user what to do and how to do it.
The BGB is not an idea of tool to improve correction but only to quicken
the validation when there is no correction to do
(and per se, validation is not an improvement at all ; the exact same text
could be red, yellow or green and could be perfect or very bad, don't mix
the metrics and the subject of the metrics).
