To the rest, you did not give any counterargument to the fact that doing 3-4, 2-5 etc. is harder than 4-3 , but will be rewarded the same. This attitude attitude is "push limits harder for less reward"
This is the problem of the judging and the way skaters and their coaches were taking advantage of the rule, that led to this. Many have spoken out against that. You can't ignore the pertinent points that have been made against whoever you favour in the past, just to say people are now against "pushing limits harder for less reward " because someone's fine with this. It is sad that the backloading bonus is nixed. Too bad the system was exploited in a manner that this needed to be done, because the ISU's never going to be fixing the judging, anyway.
