I share your views with respect to the "grader-haters," but like I said in a previous thread, to me it is very simple:
(a) If the alteration is 100% undetectable, what you don't know can't hurt you (or the resale value); and
(b) If the alteration can be detected, then if it is in an SGC holder, SGC will give you your money back.
Why does the card collecting world need more? The only problem, in my opinion, is if you have a lot of money invested in cards not graded by a company that offers such a money-backed guarantee.
