"My question was, cup marks are easy to verify as ancient or modern additions, even if done the same way with stone implements, aren't they?"

They are easy enough to tell apart when they're new, but indistinguishable after two or three decades. Another way of looking at it is that the cupmark tradition is still alive. Stoneworkers in isolated regions expect to attract visitors and to need to explain their craftworkings.
