I don't really care how the judges scored him, that means very little in terms of objectively analyzing the performances. Judges give higher scores to skaters with more reputation and momentum, plain and simple. PCS also vary considerably from event to event.

I know the rules and guidelines quite well. Stop trying to act as if you have a better understand of figure skating.
In order to have a reasonable discussion, you have to have a frame of reference. And that frame of reference is not "Skating according to BOP's criteria", it's the ISU technical handbook. It has a search feature so you can find things relatively easily. Quite frankly, I don't care what you think judging should be. I care about what it is. I may not like the rules or the way certain things are scored, but that won't change outcomes or the way skating is judged.
If you know the rules, then apply them to your posts. You keep insisting things are wrong, but the rules say otherwise and until the rules are changed, we deal with things the way they are, not the things the way we think they should be.
You say the judges don't like the rules, but I know of no active ISU judges who are publically speaking out against the judging system. Neither the ISU nor their federations would allow it. They have been some judges who have spoken out against some things like block judging, but only after they've retired.
