Default What would an acceptable rate of authenticity mistakes be?

1%...3%.... .01%
I asked who guys trust on here for authenticating a pre-war card. The early consensus seems to be
"It depends on the card"
Reasonable. I ageee, in part.
The issue is, it is completely impractical and unrealistic for a grading company to staff experts on every issue.
Is the solution to limit what they authenticate?
Or, perhaps, pay knowledgable collectors enough to be worthwhile...or even train the staff better?
Many of these kids grading our cards are novices by our standards. Honestly, some of them were in 1st grade
when I filled out my first PSA submission form and decades away from conception when I built my first sets.
I'm taking careful notes on each topic I post.
Frankly....we're the hobby, Lol. We're obsessive, sometimes compulsive knuckleheads that are mesmerized by numbers, art, stories, history and the chase. Our egos strive for the approval and even jealousy of our peers.
I honestly believe...honestly...that an authentication service that operates as a non-profit would hurt PSA...a lot.
Putting the bones in place isn't too hard.

I've spewed a bunch and apologize for length...
