Humans simply can not be trusted to be subjective and honest. Human-based TPGs should go the way of the Dodo bird. They're, inconsistent, unreliable, untrustworthy and not subjective.

That's funny, other hobbies have authenticators/tpg that take their time to get it right, and catch very nearly everything, without technology.
To use technology, you need a few things. The first is the knowledge to tell the technology what to look for. None of the TPGs have that.
Next, you need the ability to look at edge quality to be able to see the difference between a factory edge and a non- factory edge. If nobody knows the difference, they can't tell the technology what's good and what's not.
Technology is probably currently easier to fool than a relatively knowledgeable person.
