I can see your viewpoint.
Personally I would prefer just the straight grade as in my mind it is simply the exact same thing. They are both 7s.
The idea of removing the largest flaw and grading a card without it makes no logical sense in my mind accept to garner some feel good sentiment for the submitter. If you walked on the car lot and saw two of the exact same cars, one with overall general wear and tear, but one with a perfect interior but completely covered in rust is one actually superior because it has one better trait than the other with overall wear? Would you listen to a salesman tell you to just ignore the rust and be impressed by the interior?
It’s not a perfect analogy at all, but that’s basically how I picture a qualifier.
Grade a card on the “sum” of its parts, not “some” of its parts.
