Because you aren't likely to run into someone with a "fake" and they couldn't just ship them back to western countries to resell and undercut. How is that worse then them currently destroying them?

Oh, interesting. I wasn't aware of the reselling thing, and from the votes it seems a lot of others weren't either. I guess if it's just punched on something like the label/tag then that would be fine. Or maybe use permanent dye/bleach to blot it out.
