Worlds Under the CoP?

If this worlds had been judged under the CoP rather than the 'let's give out 6.0's' system, would the results have been any different? I'm no expert at the CoP, but my understanding is that the CoP rewards elements performed technically well. So, the underrotated 3/3s would have been 3/2 (or 2/2 in some cases?). The flutzes from Michelle and Sasha would have been deductions, no? Although, Sasha wasn't penalized for her flutz in the GP the way that Arakawa was for her underrotated 3/3, I believe.

Any thoughts?

Well, one major difference would be that S&Z would have probably won, since I think their superiority in LP would be enough to make up for the 4th place after SP.

I don't think there were too many deductions given for flutzes during the GP. at least not from what I gathered looking at the scores.
