There is no difference for where we are at, but I find the story of how we got here to be interesting. But I really don't know what that journey was like, as I was leaving the hobby in the 90s when grading really took off. I figured somebody else might know more about it.
And perhaps there may be a difference in the fact that as we look to the future and what grading may turn into, the two different possibilities I outlined might inform what is yet to be.
