I haven't read the Blowhard thread yet, but I do think his initial hiring and the acquisition of Genamint in the first place was mostly about PSA wanting to respond to all of the card doctoring issues that had surfaced. I believe it was their recognition of the fact that they simply weren't capable of fighting this beast head on without the aid of software. I believe they probably saw Genamint primarily as a tool for preventing future fraud and less of a tool for grading cards. It might be almost the entire reason they brought him on board.
