Michelle skated only once under CoP judging, 2005 worlds. She got third in the short and third in the long, finishing fourth overall. So we don't have much data to appeal to in deciding how well she might have done in the new system.
As to slowly fizzling out, it is true that her chronic hip injury eventually claimed its due. Even so, she continued to land on the world podium up until 2005, nine straight times.
After Michelle retired, figure skating in the U.S. went belly up.
