Altering IS just another type of damage, alterations are a type of damage. They are a group of damage done to increase a cards sell value or appearance. That is a group, a type of damage. Another type, another group, of damage, made its own type because of the fact it is altering, not normal wear and tear but done for a specific purpose intentionally. It does not change my enjoyment of a card, so while it’s own type, it’s just another type..

I don’t know why this wants to be made a thing, but alright.

You make my point. For YOU, it doesn't change your enjoyment of a card. For those of us who grew up in the hobby with a certain mentality, we could not enjoy an altered card because it's heresy. That's the difference.
