We can agree that we disagree. Unlike Konstantinova were Cohen and Mihara both qualified for Senior Worlds.
I think 30+60 would be stretching it. It is not very conservative, but on the contrary, rather generous, considering that was the PCS Trusova and Kostornaia got in JGPF.
On Shcherbakova's skating, I think you're being way too harsh on what you perceive as her weak knee usage, requiring momentum for 3-turns of all things etc. 3-turns are the most basic of basics and I really don't think her "whipping around" of the leg really is much if at all worse than other skaters' that I compared it to. She has made some very good turns while using next to no momentum of her free leg. In my opinion, this really has much more to do with her legs just being so incredibly long. Gubanova's especially poor a comparison for this regard as their body types really are completely different. She does use plenty of crossovers which indeed is a problem at this point in time. But I don't see it as some fundamental issue with her like you seem to, as last season her skating really was quite good for her age. I think that she has it in her to perform more complex connecting footwork that doesn't require such crossovers with time, but that's probably not going to happen before next season at the earliest. The footwork was in quite a good state in comparison to her peers last season.Yes, gaining speed during TR is not a bullet point, but flow, good use of knee and ankle, quality of steps and turns, varied speed and acceleration are definitely bullet point for SS. Allow me to clarify, the need of whipping around her free leg during turns to gain the momentum required to execute the TR does reflect poor use of knee, interrupts flow of footwork, and affects speed of footwork while she cannot crossover to accelerate during StSq.
I'd rather not comment on her abilities to interpret music. That's a very subjective thing and I find myself unable to enjoy her program as I keep looking at her feet.
I'd advice you to compare Gubanova's footwork with Shcherbakova's. That shall tell you what Anna is currently lacking, be it pre- or post-injury.
