...the argument basically boils down to "math hard" - "oooh, skater X got 65.43, how will I ever know what that means?"
Yes, I think that is exactly the argument.
I think the argument is that there are two steps to audience satisfaction. Let's say you go to a hockey game and one team wins 4 to 3.
Step 1. Do you know what those two numbers mean?
Yes. The 4 means the first team scored 4 goals and the 3 means the other team scored 3 goals.
Step 2. Do you know that 4 is bigger than 3?
Yes, thanks to the wonderful schools that I attended.
In ice skating, if one guy scores 213.98 and the other scores 219.16, I can still do step 2 (although I never did like decimals in school!) It is step 1 that's the problem and makes me want to say, forget it.
