OK - this is probably considered board dragging. So please delete this thread if I have violated rules. I just saw this thread at FSU.

It refers to a Wall Street Journal article and a statistical analysis having to do with the pairs event, and the random selection of judges whose scores "count."
I am not a WSJ subscriber, so could not read the whole article. But I would sure be interested your take Mathman, if you can access the article and if this post is not outside of GS rules.
ETA: While I found this topic interesting, I'm not all about "what ifs." Even if ALL judges scores counted, the debate could move to "what if different judges had been selected" etc. So I while I find this interesting, it doesn't fall into the "wuzrobbed" category at all for me.
Thanks!
