JimB -- correct, that is why I explained in my earlier post that you start with the abstract ideal of condition 'perfection' and then work downward through the scale, dropping one whole grade (and now half grade) with the number of defects of various types you discover on close inspection. As soon as you discover the slightest thing that gets you out of the 7 range, even if in theory you have '6.99 quality', you drop to the 6 range. But maybe now you'll get a 6.5 instead of a 6.
