I think how you feel about rough cuts has a lot to do with how you grew up collecting cards and what you were used to. I can understand how some people would consider them a major defect, but they have never bothered me. Hard to explain, but they just never have. The same as cards being slightly o/c (not miscut...) does not bother me. A lot of it comes down to the look of the individual card. Some cards can wear o/c and a rough cut well and still have eye appeal; some don't. I don't know that there is any science to explain it better than that - at least for me.
