I was holding my tongue as not to offend anyone. Thankfully, Ariel said it all quite nicely.
Quite often the collectors argue about some "features" and how they appear and could be, and that someone (mostly the seller:-) said it was something, etc. Just because something "looks like" or "appears" does not mean "it is"!!! Unless one spends considerable amount of time and effort to acquire genuine knowledge and expertise - these arguments, and sometimes denials, are costly downsides of the learning curve.
