What if you did triple flip/double toe, then a solo triple flip attempt downgraded to a double. Could you throw in another triple flip at the end to make up for it?
Probably not because you would still have used all your jumping passes - the place for the triple flip was filled with a double.
At any rate i think the rule about downgrades applies only to the quad in order to help the skater in terms of their planning of their program. Since a downgraded triple that is called a double isn't going to get the skater into trouble later (since doubles aren't subject to the zayak rule) it only applies to quads that are called (that is downgraded) triples.
