I'd love to see these "Slabbing Experts" grade 30 chips (same denomination / same casino).. one in each of the grades.
THEN, put those same chips in the same graded order twice in a row.
I've been there and done that with these jokesters with $20 Gold St. Gaudens. I have friends in the coin business who tell me stories of having a 'graded' coin in their shop that they believe is 'undergraded'... they crack it out of the slab... resubmit it for 'grading'... and getting back the SAME gold coin with a grading of up to 6 'grades' up or down from the original grading! And if they don't like that 'grade', they repeat the process. AND the graders get paid each time!
It's kinda like the weatherman on TV - he gets paid the same whether his forecast is right or not.
