<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2013022, member: 112&quot;]Disagree. Grading is not a science, it is an art. It requires thinking, and computers cannot think. They can only perform mathematical functions that they are programmed to perform.</p><p><br /></p><p>And individuals can be consistent in grading, they can even be amazingly consistent. But not when the grading standards they are using are changed. Nor can they be consistent when they are not trained and taught properly. Nor can they be consistent when they are forced to follow and grade by inconsistent standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I will readily agree with you that a grading system that actually works and is consistent, is not what the market wants. And I will readily agree with you that when it comes to eye appeal, that yes there will be some differences of opinion among certain individuals. But those differences would be very minor compared to what we have now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why ? Well, what is eye appeal ? It&#039;s pretty simple really, eye appeal is nothing more than the sum of all other grading criteria. So if you have consistent and static grading standards then eye appeal, no matter who is judging it, can vary very little.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
