[QUOTE="AussieCollector, post: 3236074, member: 81093"]Thanks for the discussion thread [USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] My unscientific view would be that the definition of Artificial Toning is defined by the intent, much like crime. Apologies for the extreme analogy, but if I were to intentionally ram my car into another car and kill the other occupant, that would be murder. If I lose control of my car, and accidentally kill the occupant, I will not face charges. Even if the accident occurs because I'm reckless, it's still not murder. It then becomes a question of whether it's manslaughter. But... regardless of the definition, the result is the same. Much like coins. Therefore, given the above, is there any point differentiating between AT and NT? If the only difference is intent, and the affect is the same, what does it matter? And for this reason I'd also go as far to say that paying a premium for toning is a bad idea, as: 1. You have no idea as to whether it's AT or NT, and 2. It's in fashion, and the fashion will fade.[/QUOTE]
