Very true...
The simple use of a blacklight might have prevented hundreds (if not thousands) of recolored/rebuilt/re-backed and bleached cards from getting into numbered slabs. Just think what they could've accomplished by using a simple ruler!
Perhaps they just aren't motivated to do so, or have a different agenda.
