Opinions on Soaking/Pressing

While i did not read each and every thread, MOST pertain to soaking and drying a card between paper and a heavy object. THIS IS NOT PRESSING a card, cards which are soaked and press rolled to lengthen the card and then trim it are what are meant by "pressing" a card. the fellows above are merely removing glue and paper remnants, no harm or damage to the card at all, true occasionally a minor wrinkle might come out, but nothing heavy. the cards that everyone is scared of in high grade holders were not soaked in a bathtub and put in between a phone book to dry, they were soaked, press rolled, dried and trimmed, an entirely different and advanced method.
