Do the major grading companies have any internal quality control systems in place to test their graders abilities? For example, many companies will hire internet security firms to actually try to break through their security and access their systems. Thereby learning where the holes are and what they need to do to tighten up their security.

Would those of you who deal with graded cards feel more comfortable if the grading companies were to hire some people to create very convincing fakes to be submitted to test their own people's ability to spot them? If the cards were graded and slabbed, then they could be pulled and used as examples to further educate the graders. What about hiring people to alter some cards for the same testing? Just a thought I had. Please let me know if I'm crazy this afternoon. Thanks.
