This is really strange framing. Having a single typo in the first sentence does not negate good prose. Something can be well-written but riddled with typos; something can be perfectly grammatically correct and still have crappy prose. Yes, typos are annoying, but I would be aghast if a single typo genuinely ruined your enjoyment of the overall prose. Everyone is different with regards to whether or not they like having typos pointed out, but you can still compliment the prose either way.

I personally think spelling & grammar is necessary but not sufficient for good prose.

If you had a cheap edition of a classic novel with typos in it, would you say that it had worse prose than a different copy?

Actually, yes, from a purely reading standpoint. A deep analysis, no, but as a casual reader, the SPAG is going to take away from the strength of the prose as I read it.

But that's not what the word means.
