How easy is it to grade a card that is entombed? My guess is, it is fairly tough if you can't use a loupe or whatever else they use?

The highlighted part just reinforces with me that this whole graded/slabbed card thing is nothing more than a scam. It's too bad as I think protecting cards and having a grade assigned to them is a good thing, but when I read things like this, it removes all desire to get my cards graded.
