They don't need to answer to anyone. Just play ostrich. See #1 below.

Yeah, that's inspiring. I guess when one of the owners was ensnared in a massive insider trading scandal and more or less came away with his reputation intact, we shouldn't be too surprised.

Well, I don't submit much for grading, but I do purchase my fair share of PSA-graded cards. I knew there was some BS when it came to differentiating 9s and 10s, particularly for modern cards, but this lays bare the reason for the lack of differentiation.

Buy 100 PSA 10s from a high volume submitter, resubmit the same cards raw, and see how many 10s you come away with. See #4 below.
