I have no notion that I can tell whether a card is "factory cut" or not from a scan. As such, my decisions reward cards with larger borders. Just as, all other things equal, better centering is better, bigger borders are better. Bigger borders are better because the probability of trimming is smaller. Smaller borders are bad because the probability of trimming is greater. Probably off topic, but that's my thought.

I get the logic, but it's not necessarily true. Many trimmers choose large border cards to trim and/or flatten them to make them oversized before trimming. A small card is not more likely to be trimmed.
