And if that's the case, via Socratic method I think one reaches the same conclusion for any subsequent cut.

I guess then the question is whether the problem is that the cutter wasn't an employee of the factory or that not enough time has elapsed since the cards were factory cut -- in which case the question is how many years would have to elapse after the cut before the cards would be considered legitimate. Or is it that too much time elapsed between printing and cutting, in which case the question is how many hours or months or years or whatever would have been okay?
