This is NOT an attack on Nicolo in any way, but whether or not BODA can trace back a specific card that is altered is meaningless. The overwhelming majority of altered cards are not traceable like that. Even more so on older certs.
And I also strongly disagree with your not a bad situation assessment. I can't speak for Nicolo or what is important to him, but if I found conclusive proof that an altered card was in my collection despite my best efforts, I would not be philosophical about it at all nor could I continue to enjoy it. I should amend that to say a trimmed or recolored card, there are some things some would call alterations I could live with.
