[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1444376, member: 2972"]I do not disagree with that, outside I might argue the "greatly" part. To the contrary, I would argue that market grading as practiced by the TPGs, does change over time, as the market changes. And thank you for the acknowledgement. :) In hopes of not going too far into a philosophy tangent, I agree, there is only one truth. However, I would argue that for humans there is no truth outside perception. Humans cannot experience "truth", but only their perception thereof. Now, we may argue, as in this thread, whose perception is closer to the real truth, but we'll never really know. By way of example... For millenia, the Earth was thought to be flat. It was the "truth" of the time. Eventually, we figured out it was round. "The truth" was refined, and the world being round is now the generally accepted "truth". Did the truth change, or did our perception of the truth change? Will we figure out, in a future time, that the Earth is really defined in four dimensions rather than three or two? Who knows, but each of us will be convinced by our perception that we were each espousing the "truth". Perception is reality. There is no truth outside perception for we as humans are bound by it. As they said in the Matrix, a wonderfully interesting movie that goes into this aspect of perception and reality, "There is no spoon". There is no right. There is no wrong. For humans, it's all opinion formed through perception, and refined through time with experience. The truth is out there, but we as humans will never know it, even though we often are convinced we do. Sorry for the tangent. :)[/QUOTE]
