Interesting response to PSA grade

I recently ran across this auction for what is advertised as a T206 PSA 4 VG/EX Pelty. After looking at the scan I noticed that the card was actually a PSA 4 VG (which is an older label with there original numbering system, correct me if I'm wrong).
I sent an email to the seller of this fact and this is the response: "We know that the label says VG 4, but we assumed VG-EX 4 is the normal workding for the grade." I sent a polite follow up questioning the label and what I pointed out above to no response.
Instances like this are always disturbing to me especially from "reputable" dealers. What is the problem with selling it like it is instead of making assumptions that an uneducated buyers would not know.

I have had transactions in the past with this seller all to satisfaction.

Suprising as Steve is usually an up front guy.

They used to have a different system in the lower grades. If I recall my personal experience with a Goudey Gehrig a number of years back correctly, an old "VG 4" is the same as a new "VG-EX 4" and Steve is therefore correct.
