GOOD! You can be imaginative. For a system as nitty gritty as the CoP which recognizes the strict judgement of Under Rotations whether or not they disrupt the Flow of skating, to be so lenient when it comes to an element's definition shows a lack of understanding in the Sport.
They could amend this to have automatic deductions in many cases, URs for one. But if the name of a jump comes from its Takeoff, then that's what should be shown in a competition otherwise that intended jump never happened, if indeed, it was intended. Who knows? One should be judged on what is seen, not intended. Isn't that an axiom of the CoP?
That's the basic difficulty with COP. It can't go all the way, but it is structured to do so. So you end up with a hobgoblin of a system that pleases very few. And the thing is, to please the most, it can't be COP. Period.
