So let's say there's a Technical program that allows 5, 6, or 7 jump elements including combinations, with any number of rotations, as well as other difficult technical skills, and another kind of program that de-emphasizes difficulty and emphasizes quality and variety/creativity? Which would make a more appropriate first phase of competition and which a more appropriate final round?
Maybe different competitions could switch off the order.
There is a problem if you part "difficult technical skills" and "quality". I don't accept this view, where technical content of the program is something nearly undesirable. Tech content means quality as well. That's why I am also against the division of figure skating on technical and artistic programs. It works together, not divided. I'm not for a competition where only personal taste would decide what is artistic, creative etc.
