Actually, Brian, "Evidence of Trimming" means just that. PSA specifically has a designation called "Minimum Size Requirement" for cards that are factory cut short. They will not grade those cards, but they do specify that it is factory short and not trimmed.
Similary, SGC has a few rejection codes. S for "Too Small to Holder (Short)"
It is an unfortunate situation, but I think I would rather have a few honest cards not get graded than have any (more) trimmed cards actually make it to the holder.
