Agree but even broader: authors. I always viewed reviews as targeting Brook's less famous findings about the optimal team size being one, and asking how can we get better at building systems too big for the individual. I think code review is about shared, consistent understanding with catching bugs a nice side effect (or justification for the bean counters).
