agree 100%.

The appraisers are doing their best to determine what an "average" buyer is going to pay for the properties, and it's a bit of a guessing game because every buyer and every house is so different.

Hell, I had three offers on a 430k home last week, they varied by almost 15%... each buyer thought their price was perfectly justifiable, and none of them were "wrong", but only one got the house. How's an appraiser supposed to make a guess that's better than a well informed buyer??
