I wish you were right. If you hold your game discs up to a bright light a small pinhole will show that a flaw caused in the manufacturing process years ago finally took it's toll. If it's in the right spot your game is ruined no matter how well you take care of it. Read the article that I linked at the top of page 2. It seems the Dreamcast is the worst offender and PSX games are harder to see flaws due to the dark color on the discs.
Even games sealed in the original plastic could be ruined and you would never know it unless you check them. Imagine all the ebay and Amazon buyers and sellers losing business over this.
