Good points and I agree that the low, medium and high grading scale would have less impact on price differentials between grades.
Consider then the opposite and have grading be on a single digit 1-100 scale.
Would the exponential grade differential pricing be even worse? Would an
88 be worth five times the value of an
87? Yikes!!!
Hopefully this will never happen.
