I do understand what you are saying, and I believe it is ok to disagree with the scoring.Again, a skater does NOT get the base value of a Lutz/flip if the tech panel determines WET. There is an AUTOMATIC REQUIRED negative grade of execution which means less that the base value of either jump for the final score for that element. If you don't believe the incessant discussion of how it is scored, please go look at the protocols.
However, if one is called on WET, what was the name of the jump which took off on the wrong edge? Certainly, there is good reason to belief it was a Flip. No? It was definitely not a Lutz. No?
Have you checked out the Definitions of the Elements? A toe-off from a back inside edge is a Flip. It's a SalChow with a toe-off. Please do check and go to
the Lutz. and see it takes off on a back outside edge, counter rotates and it is not like any other jump.
