Is that not the glass is half empty view point? There is nothing in Dave's response that is critical of any of Mastros behavior. It is wrong to suggest otherwise. A person could interpret the opposite of your this equals this opinion by his omission of wrong doing.

Charlie,
You are correct, Dave was not specifically critical of Mastro. He however clearly noted that SGC considers removing a wrinkle as a category one restoration. He went on to note with honesty that this category one restoration (wrinkle removal) is impossible to detect in many cases. However, a card would be rejected if wrinkles were attempted to be removed and it affected a cards texture, had an unusually flat surface or there is a slight transfer of a foreign substance to a card.
A reasonable person can now conclude that Doug's admission to wrinkle removal is not endorsed by SGC. It is wrong to attempt to reason otherwise.
