The biggest problem is your underlying assumption that card alteration is impossible to detect. That is big news to many of us!
Let's just assume this assumption is true, even though it quite obviously is not. If I can make a fake $100 bill so good that you can't detect it and the authenticator you bring it to can't detect and the US Mint doesn't catch me, is it okay for me do this? Is it okay for me to pass off this item when I sell it or use it in a commercial transaction as a real $100 bill? Is it not "too big of a problem" because you can't see it's fake?
I don't think it takes a moral high horse to see the massive problems here with this train of ethics, or lack thereof.
