Problems with requesting an "authentic" grade?

Didn't want to hijack Leon's thread about an authentic grade, but was wondering the following and would appreciate your opinions:

If you send cards in to SGC (or any of the others that will grade a card "Authentic") and you request that grade on your order form, do you stand the risk of having the grader think that you think there is something wrong with the card and therefore they look at it more harshly or with less benefit of any doubt? It's early here in California so if this sentence sounds more like stream of conscience thinking, it may be.

Thanks for chiming in.
