Nope, you're wrong. Hanyu said numerous times that he loves doing and learning quads, that he wants to go for 3 quads in the LP in the future (and he thought about doing it this season already), and that he wants to learn all the different quads (though I think the 4A was half a joke). There were already rumors that he started training a third quad. He isn't simply going for 'as much points as possible', he's going for what he wants to do most because it's what he loves to do.
And again, his 4S is already really consistent in practices. He hit one in the 6min warm-up in Paris. Getting it out there is exactly what he needs to do, even if he still has trouble.
CanadianSkaterGuy said:...there's absolutely no way he's getting 193 points in his FS. He would have to smash his PB by 16 points... and he's no Patrick Chan. The highest Yuzu has scored on TES in the FS is 91.99 -- you're quite idealistic to think he'll score 104 points of TES.
Who cares if he's Patrick Chan? Yes, NMURA is very optimistic to expect Hanyu to go clean, when he didn't do that so far. But if he would, you could bet he would score about 104 in TES. That's already what he gets when you add the missed points for the 4T and 4S to his TEB TES (87+ with at least +3 for 4T and +10 for 4S, plus the +GOE his jumps can get).
If you want to get Chan into this: Hanyu would never get Chan's PCS. He can beat him in TES though.

I agree with this, but...

Hanyu has a little advantage against Oda but they don't care which one comes ahead finally.
...I don't find these to be much better
