Can someone please try to explain to me how one can distinguish the difference between an A, AA, AAA Illustrator.
The more A's, obviously, the better. But how would one know if that person is a AAA Illustrator?
What certain traits/skills does a AAA Illustrator, "compared" to an A or even a AA?

it's not an official status of some sort, it's just a saying.
it's like an actor you here that's a "triple-A actor" it's not like he applied for something, it's just how good he is and how prolific his portfolio is.
the single- and double- A status' I believe are just a play on words that go along with the whole "triple-A" saying.

Me either...
Is it a school stuff ?!
Anyway, your question is "what makes a difference between a talented artist and a not-that-good-one?" right? Seems you already know the answer, if you look at someone painting and something magic happens, leaving you all dreamy and the only word you think is "...wow" .... there it's a "tripleA" one?? Dunno! Haha, all this stuff is also very subjective ! Sometimes I see some high quality skill works and the magic stuff doens'nt work, it's well done but sterile. It doesn't tell anything to me. And sometimes some pictures with "mistakes" or things done different of "what it would be" give me shiver and a story starts in my head. You know, just inspiring... It depends of people, of your imagination, your culture, memories, etc.
The quality of someone's art is not really quantifiable with labels and A+ or B- stuff like at school, though most of the time everyone accords to tell someone is good when he IS good...
In my opinion an artist is great when he makes people think / dream / feel. And if he becomes a symbol of his time it's even better.

There's actually an answer to this question. I'm pulling this info from "Das königliche Illustrator' s-Klassifikationhilfsmittel - offenkundiges 42b". Although hard to find, it's a great resource for Illustrators. It's a bit difficult to translate, but hopefully Babelfish can give you some idea of what's being said.

There's good illustrators everywhere. Some are painters, some are digital, some are hobbyist, some are army men, some are medical illustrators, some are forensic artists, some won't even think of themselves as an artist.
Some went to school, some never did. Everyone with dedication can be a good illustrator.
