There will always be controversy on some that at one point in time or another may cause concensus to go in a specific direction. A recent debate that comes to mind is the RK rounder issue. There are lots of other badges that are unkowns and could go either way once evidence is found.

I agree, its not really true IMO.

We indeed saw a spike of good badges becoming bad and vice versa in the first few years of the internet. That is simply because collectors from all over the world now got to show their vast collections more openly and everybody compared notes and communicated all over the world in a very short time.

So, now you have some old-time dealer in Ohio for example, that is used to his little world of militaria that was contained withing a few hundred miles of his geographical area for 30 years, now can hear from experienced collectors all over the world and compare notes. Same thing with guys in the UK, or Austrailia. Now, everyone can talk all over the world and I would say that 95% of the stuff we collect now has a good consensus on what is good or bad. You may have 1 or 2 pieces switch from good to bad (vice versa) due to continued research, but I think the explosion of "new revelations" we saw over the last 10 years has now come and gone.
