So right here you have the evidence and the explanation. The graders are all 2nd-graders. Once they become 3rd-graders, they are replaced. So none have more than one school year of experience grading cards because then they are replaced by another one. In second grade, everything they do is either a 9 or a 10.

A simple explanation that explains how all of these cards are getting missed.

The whole thing was right in front of our faces and we all missed it.

But wait, when he says that once a card has been initially reviewed it goes to a "2nd Grader" for confirmation, which seems to distinguish this grader from the initial one. Since I would suspect the confirming Grader would be more senior than the Initial grader, wouldn't that make the initial grader a 1st Grader?
