It's not just about the reader.
I tend to think that, if you pay enough attention to the small stuff, it will result in enough of an enhancement of overall quality that most readers will notice. They may not think, "Wow, Brian did an awesome job not making it sound like a single soldier existed in two places at once." But, they will notice it if the writing flows well, and there aren't a lot of mistakes to pull them from the story.
That's my standard response when someone implies I'm being a little too particular.
However, I like this answer, too.
In the end, it's really all about producing a product that I can feel proud of. I can't live with the thought that I'm putting complete crap out there.
