Peter, this is not my thing, so I haven’t thought too much about it, but it’s cetainly not as hard as you think it is.
In fact, it wouldn’t be too difficult at all to set a scientific standard.
To me, I’d apply the qualifier to any card with the appearance of 50/50. Now, a T206 with 47/53 might actually appear to average eyes as 50/50. You could conduct some qualitative testing to ascertain what level of measurable centering falls within the parameters of appearing 50/50.
So it could be done with less subjectivity than you think.
All that said, qualifier or not, I’ll continue to pay strong for centered cards and some folks will continue to question those purchases. Not a big deal.

They would still question it with a formal qualifier, IMO. And who cares if they do?
