The same can be said for skaters not attempting complex and very difficult programs but *simpler programs* jam-packed with 1-3 quads. They too know best. It must be hard to do a program that is choreographically difficulty, hence, why we don't see many skaters doing such programs.
The way that I see it is, it all comes down to relativity here.
Brian says that he puts in ALOT OF HARD WORK and does 3 quads and therefore, his hard work should have a higher base value. And I say to Brian, that Jeffrey puts in ALOT OF HARD WORK to do complex, difficult and intricate programs to the point that most people, including some of his fans, have all wondered if it is better to do simpler programs and therefore leave some room to focus on his jumps. His hard programs - i.e spins, in-betweens, stroking, and choreography really merit a higher base value whatever that is.
Good point.
