Like all humans, all authenticators make mistakes. No one has a 1000% batting average, including the outspoken members in this thread.
And, if an authenticator is good, he or she should always be learning. Yep... sometimes you learn to identify a deceptive fake style that may have slipped by in the past. Ideally, this is a very small percentage for credible authenticators, but only a fool or liar claims to be perfect.
I have no opinion if this Robinson is good or bad. But assuming it is suspect and JSA made a mistake the first time, should they continue to approve a style they now know is suspect?
How many of you think every professional judgement you ever made was 100% correct and given the opportunity would never change anything? Let's see a show of hands.
In full disclosure, I am a professional authenticator who gets paid to provide opinions <GASP>. JSA is one of my clients.
