Peter SpaethI agree that trimming is a serious issue and I would like to hear more from Leon about the conversation in which Dave Forman identified it as a far more serious problem than pressing out wrinkles. In particular, how confident is he that it can be detected? I infer from his saying that it is a serious problem that he is not entirely confident, or it wouldn't be a problem from his perspective, but I would like to hear what he has to say about that.
My issues with the "if a tree falls in a forest and noone hears it" approach are threefold: one, I am not really convinced these types of alterations are 100 percent undetectable. I would guess that with sophisticated enough technology one could tell. Two, more importantly, I am not convinced that wrinkles can't reappear eventually. And three, even if the first two concerns were satisfied, I just think there is something disturbing about knowing the surface of a card has been altered to give it its present appearance. I admit however that I am not sure I can articulate why that bothers me and erasure of a light pencil mark doesn't.
