At a very very high level, a spell checker and an editor advising on your target audience's aesthetic preferences and cultural nuances are the same thing; at the level we're talking about here the distinction becomes important. Imagine asking an editor how to spell "xenomorph" and their feedback is to tell you to rewrite your story in a fantasy setting instead.
