Imagine if you can incorporate something more advanced than a ruler. Like some modern day imaging scan that could immediately detect flaws.
You keep falling back on the human grading perspective as if Joe Schmo should be held accountable. Humans make mistakes. We all do it every single day. There really should not be an excuse to avoid using technology this day in age.
If you keep going back to complaining about "graders" and the human aspect we will never agree on this subject.

That reference does
not exist.
Currently grading is done by humans, and will be for a very long time.
Consider that Google - the product of millions of dollars if not billions, and the labor of thousands of very talented programmers - will return a large number of images that are not the card you're searching for. Even for a very common card.
And you think a machine could easily figure out what a card is, if it's fake, and what the grade is? When there are many things that don't scan well enough for someone who knows the material to be sure..
Some of that can be done, like centering and measurement. The rest will take a long time.
