Brent's attitude is if you can't tell an alteration has been done then it is okay. I don't think many people here agree with that but it seems most have a list of minor alterations that are no big deal.

Everyone has a line they draw between what is acceptable and what is not. Once you draw that line it would be helpful to be able to articulate why you put it where you did.

That wouldn't be my rationale. I completely disagree with that, and question the premise really in most situations he is referring to. My rationale would be that a light pencil mark is no big deal to start with and from what I understand can be removed with an art eraser without affecting anything about the paper. Not much different from flicking something off that got stuck to a card.
