I realize PSA and SGC (and the other opinion sellers) want theirs to be the Word of God... But who actually anointed them?

Fair disclosure:
A grader at XYZ thinks it is a 7
I think it is a 9
The guy I bought it from called it "near Mint"
My neighbor thinks it is a 6
My car mechanic thinks it is a 10, but he wasn't wearing his glasses at the time...

My point is, why is the opinion of one more relevant than the other. Why can't a prospective buyer do HIS OWN grade assessment (a novel thought, I admit.)
Only one has any relation to the price. The only reason not to disclose it was a PSA 7 is because you might make less money. You won't make less money because your blind car mechanic thinks it's a 7. I don't understand why both replies to me are about the word of God, I hate PSA and SGC, but I'm sorry, their opinions do heavily impact price and that is just true whether or not anyone likes it or not. Telling the truth is more ethical than not disclosing pertinent facts that might not help you.
