I have repeatedly pointed out the folly of such targeted rule changes which would most likely hurt some very beloved skaters of the proponents, if only ISU would be as foolhardily prejudicial and irrational. As a Chan fan, I always say, bring it on. Others will pay.
When proposals popped up all over the Alissa thread on how she should and could be prevented to compete at Worlds again with targeted tweaking of the US Nationals judging, I recognized the preposterousness could be equal opportunity.
The same line of logic also comes when there are rule changes thought to target BENEFIT for skaters. After the Ladies were allowed to do 3A or 2A for their SP, everyone was SO SURE that Mao Asada would completely steamroll the competition because she was the only one who was doing 3As. There were a lot of "this is unfair!" comments toward the "Mao Asada rule." Likewise everyone thought that Yu-na Kim would go down in flames because they reduced the number of 2As you could do in the LP. Obviously neither scenario happened.
