The problem seems to be the prevalence of substandard resurfacing technology and/or incorrect usage of good resurfacing technology are FAR more commonplace than good resurfacing machines and/or people who know exactly how to use them.

Also, some discs simply can not be resurfaced based on the damage that they've incurred.

Optimal disc resurfacing should show no immediate indicators of the process. No lines, no swirls, no remnant fluid/particulate matter, ie you'd never know that it was a resurfaced disc unless you saw it pre-resurface and post-resurface to know the difference.

Anybody who thinks that a resurface can't make a disc 99.99% perfect (or as a close to perfect as a visual check without some type of microscopic visual investigation aid can be) simply needs to experience the event occur correctly personally with their own disc.
