I think the "logic" behind their decision is mainly having to do with perception. If the card looks like it has an unusual cut once in the holder it is hard to determine if the card was trimmed or 100% original with an abnormal factory cut.
Kinda funny when you see endless amounts of undersized and seemingly trimmed cards residing in PSA holders. The miscut rejection code had more merit in the earlier days of PSA when they were able to distinguish between undersized (N-6), trimmed (N-1) or miscut (N-8) and when they took more pride in the service they were providing. These days a card can be submitted multiple times and come back as each of these designations or better yet, grade numerically.
