I purchased a loupe and notice the imperfect corners and surface scratches that could not be seen with the naked eye. It was a fair grade, tough, but fair.

Like I mentioned, scans don't always tell the whole story, but I have seen, imo, numerous times, way to many inconsistencies.
The way I look at it, which could be off side thinking, is, if a card is such that you need a loupe to see defects, it should grade higher than cards that don't need a loupe.
These cards, for example, which are fairly recently graded, it is easy to see the inconsistencies but they graded higher than Sleater?
