^^ You're not getting my point. This thread is about a technical panel. If fans of the sport are worried about who's making the TECHNICAL calls at the biggest event, the sport is in deep trouble. And this sport is not in its early stage of development.

Sure, there are controversies and wrongdoings in other sports as well, but you don't see their fans discuss at length in apprehension on who will be in charge of making the calls. Of course influenced calls or result riggings can happen nonetheless, but they are PROHIBITIED and penalized. Can we say the same disciplinary action was taken on the results of, say, 2012 NHK Trophies ladies singles, even when a bunch of commentators cried out "injustice"?

We're also forgetting that the tech specialist will have to justify their calls and will most definitely be under scrutiny, and under fire if they exhibit blatant favouritism/bias. As the tech specialist, it's harder to hide than a judge subjectively giving PCS/GOE.

I'm aware of what the thread is about, and sorry, but you don't really seem to have much of a point at all. In fact, your interjection into this thread seemed rather....pointless. The rest of us are having fun speculating.
