I agree. I think you misunderstood my post. (Perhaps I could have worded it a bit better, but I thought the meaning was relatively clear. I even said that the judging didn't display any pro-host bias.)
I'm sorry... I wasn't intending to chide you... I knew what you meant.
Too many of our contributors seem to pick up little catch phrases, like "home cooking," and they repeat them with an air of knowing all about that sort of thing... when there is no evidence to support their claims.
Perhaps it is the nature of the sport and its fans.
"I'm so knowledgeable about skating and passionate about my favorite. If he doesn't win, then obviously there was some funny business going on."
My apologies for inadvertently suggesting that you were of that ilk.
