Success is easy, failure is much more complex and rewarding albeit costly at times.</p><p>Look folks, if you wanted perfection you should be in engineering or something where failure is kept to a minimum - but alas if you were an engineer you'd be as boring as the day is long and I mean that with some sympathy, not much but a little.</p><p>The world is not black and white it is always many shades of grey you can either embrace it or fight it - one of these way you win and one you fail.</p><p>The TPG companies would slab their mothers if they thought it would make them more money. You'all don't think they perform this service just for you do you? I sure hope not - personally I like not being able to make coin grading scientific and perfect. What a boring world of coins that would be if we could answer every question, get most all grades right, take the skill subtle differences at of it - well, if we could do that I would just lose complete interest in it altogether.</p><p>We all really need discrepancies that is what make things rich in life.
