[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 199957, member: 3011"]You are correct, of course. Grading isn't a science, where the result can be repeated in a consistant manner across time and space. So what we are really doing is trying to guess what the current group consensus opinion will be, or the opinion of a group of people at a TPG. This makes the effort similar to watching a beauty contest on TV, where the viewer is trying to guess who the judges will think is the prettiest, and not necessarily who the viewer thinks is the prettiest. The effort is sort of trying to figure out what the common opinion is about what the common opinion will be. And now I'm really starting to get confused thinking about all of this!?!?![/QUOTE]
