Then you get to the next question: where do you draw the line? ie how much of a clear running edge is "enough". You are headed down a slippery slope now...
Yes, exactly. That's why the CoP is ill suited to try to score a "slippery slope" sport like figure skating.
Ordinal judging, now...we can tell with great confidence and with unanimity among judges that Browning's failed flip was not as terrible as Petrenko's failed Lutz. But to say that Petrenko deserves exactly 1.2 points (not 1.1 and not 1.3), while Browning deserves 2.3 -- these numbers do not attach to anything quantifiable in the actual skating.
