I'll never get why TPGs are so lenient about it (relative to how warped it makes the card look)

TPG's have pushed a worldview on us where in some cases diamond cuts or extreme tilt is more acceptable than 75/25 centering. That's just dumb. I've also never understood why a card with a barely perceptible wrinkle gets a 3, but a card with a badly OF image that is noticeable from several feet away can get a 5. Professional grading is supposed to equate technical metrics to wear and defects based on how they affect eye appeal - but in some cases the standard is just in fairly poor touch with reality.
