The standards loosen to make the big submitters happy. People catch on, and the standards tighten to maintain the appearance of conservative grading to maintain/boost confidence. The big submitters complain, and the standards are loosened again. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That’s why I chose example which are purely objective and black-and-white. Does the coin have wear, excluding coin-on-coin rub, yes or no? Is the coin graded MS, yes or no? This can be compared to PCGS’ statement on their website that MS coins have to have no wear to be MS. Is the coin abrasively-cleaned, yes or no? It the coin straight-graded, yes or no? This can be compared with to PCGS’ statement on their website that ANY abrasive cleaning would result in a “details” grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>The argument that “people just know that’s what they do” is not going to cut it, because the majority actually do not. It is misleading and harmful. This is no conspiracy theory. It is objectively-provable fact.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
