The Proposition does not hold
Let's start with practical layouts that are actually realistic and make certain reasonable assumptions such as excluding the use of Triple Axel and ignore the 10% bonus for 2nd half. You posted in the other thread the following layouts and I quote:
We agree to ignore the 1/2 mark bonus so the "higher base value" claim is disregarded for the moment for reasons stated previously. Both jump layouts you provided above come up to a total Base Value of 41. In terms of GOE potential, layout 2 has, all things considered, only merely 0.2 higher GOE potential on paper than layout 1, out of 7 jumping passes. I will talk about why it is not advised to go for layout 2 in lieu of layout 1 if higher GOE potential is truly the goal later, since that discussion is more qualitative than pure math, hence am not surprised Yu-Na Kim would not be doing layout 2 that many of you have hoped.

Krislite said:In particular, I have the following examples in mind since it has been claimed to be Yu-na's jump layout at worlds:
3Lz+3T
3F
3S+2T
2A+2T+2L
3Lz
3S
2A
----------
3Lz+2T
3F
2A+3T
3S+2T+2L
3Lz
3S
2A
The two jump layouts above are identical in jump contents, but the second one omits the triple-triple combo. In fact, the second layout is slightly higher in base value once we take the 1/2 mark bonus into account. Add in the maximum GOE potential, and you get a jump layout that has higher base value and higher GOE potential.
