With all due respect, Mathman, you're changing the argument. Whether 6.0 or IJS punishes falls/mistakes more or less is not the issue that we were discussing.
I was responding to this post by Ven (#159).
To be blunt, I don't consider 6.0 FS a sport, but I do consider CoP figure skating a sport. With 6.0, it seems like it's just people making qualitative judgements on a skater's performance, and then assigning random made-up numbers to back up their bias who was better than who. Yuna could go out there and skate her 2013 World Championship Les Mis performance and there could be someone ... on the panel who could and would rate her below Kostner.
My point was that under IJS there is still a lot of qualitative judging going on.
For an example, I tried to point out that Kim's Lez Mis in fact won on the strength of the quality that the judges saw in her program, not because of quantitative measures.
