As I said, I'm a purist. An lutz is not a lutz if the takeoff edge is incorrect.
I absolutely have an idea of how many skaters flutz. I hear so many complaints about how the technical side is over-emphasized. Well, for starters, how about not rewarding faulty technique?
I get where you're coming from (though I don't think it's a good idea), but where would you stop? Do full-blade take-offs count in your approach? Pre-rotating more than 180 degree? The spinning take-off on the -3Ts? Swinging into edge jumps?
Faulty technique does need to be disincentivized correctly and evenly, but I don't think giving zeros is the correct approach.
