From reading Burdick's writings/thoughts I think you are absolutely correct. He just wanted everything to be easy for collectors to understand. Keeping things together accomplished that. For OCD folks it's a difficult situation at best. Everything doesn't fit perfectly. He very frequently said he knew he made mistakes and his work was a work in progress. If we could ever get SCD, SGC, Beckett and PSA on the same page, we might be able to actually make changes that are needed. I am not optimistic though.
