Variety shouldn’t be rewarded because we’re talking types of jumps, not number of revolutions. Example: 3Lz, 2A, 2F, 3Lo/3T+2T, 2S+3T, 2F+1T. All jumps are there, but there’s certainly nothing impressive about that layout. It’s undeserving of a bonus.
But if we’re talking revolutions: *3S, 3A+2T, 3F, 3A/3F+3T, 3Lz+2T+2Lo, 3Lo. This is much more impressive, but shouldn’t be rewarded either because knowing all your 3s should be a basic thing and it is among the ladies (except the 3A). Rewarding a skater for something he should already know is like rewarding a bird for flying.**
*Kihira’s free skate layout
**Unless that bird’s an ostrich. Give that bird all the bonuses.
