 If the rarity of a card determines its valuation then no value should be lost by cracking a slab.  
Rarity value is simply supply and demand, but thats not what you are referring to in any of your posts.
successfully cracking and re-subbing a card for a higher grade actually makes the same card worth more money.  That is so crazy to me.  TPGs have added phantom value to cards, coins and currency.  Just a fact
