I agree 100 percent. One of the most enjoyable parts of this hobby, at least for me, is learning everything I can about a persons signing habits, signature and what can and cannot have been signed. God knows it wasn't as easy as it is now with the vast amount of info that's available via the internet, through email and boards like this. For me, the bottom line is this - it doesn't matter if an authenticator says it's good...even if it's the most respected person in the hobby, If I don't think it's good, then I need to find the proper info to prove to myself that it's good or just walk away and not purchase.
On the flip side, just because one of the questionable authenticators says it's good, doesn't mean it's not. If I feel it's good after analyzing it, than I'm comfortable purchasing it. If I end up being wrong, then it's my bad for not knowing enough.
