Norm, you make a good point in that there are in balance, far more unmarked (and a few marked) KM badges that have lost favor due to the classification than badges that have gone up measurably by it.
Over on the Collector Community Forum they despair that dealer and estand listings are not called out for what they are (based on current collector research and sentiment of course).
This is not true in our little part of the collecting universe.
I think we do a great job with KM badges calling them for what they are if mistakes are made here, it is not in calling a bad badge good but a good badge bad.
So protection of the KM badge collector is a net effect of the classifications systems even if mistakes are made to the possible detriment of a seller.
