Why should one use it really??? If you are using quotation marks it's pretty apparent that you are quoting someone... I agree with Anthony that it's just used to make people see that you've spotted an apparent mistake. And why cannot mistakes be left without that remark??

Because than it is not clear whether the mistake originated with the source information, or if you have just made a typo. It undermines your credibility when publishing.
