The two-grades-lower "thing" has always bugged me, albeit for a different reason.

Take your example of a PSA 9 OC. If graded a straight 7, some buyers would say, "...with that centering, I can only price it like a 5..." (looking to whack the card again when trying to buy it from you)

I wish ALL graded cards had sub-grades. It would make things much simpler:

Are you a "pointy corners" collector? Get the cards with a 9 or 10 for corners.
Want to make sure there are no surface scratches that don't show up in photos? Subgrades should have you covered.
Do you worship at the Altar of Almighty Centering? Go for it; the subgrade is on there if you don't trust your eyes.
