I understand your point, but the rough cut can vary just as much as centering can. The same card in the set can have a very rough cut one time, and virtually a straight cut the next.

I agree with you, that cards should be penalized for bad centering. But seems like there is far more random leniency and forgiveness with regard to severe rough cuts.
