I think what you are doing is great - you are trying to improve what's out there. My basic point is that the whole grading system that all of the card companies currently use is fundamentally flawed, and that the systems cannot be fixed, no matter how much precision we try to add to the mix. (That is, the companies use inaccurate measures, they are not reliable, and they have not even come close to adequately quantifying their grades.)
My initial comments to you were only minor, and were just intended as constructive criticism to improve your site (e.g about the writing, pictures, etc.). The excessively-detailed criticisms about measures were all directed at the grading companies, not at you in any way.
Again, I think what you have done is great, and will help a lot of people understand the grading systems that currently exist. Just don't kill yourself trying to fix their systems, because they can't be fixed!
Regards,
Tom
