Gladiolusc, the intent of this thread as well as the blogger post, and a litany of posts like it is to stave off the other guys catching up or complaining when a guy beats Hanyu.
If Uno hasn't skated well and Hanyu won, you wouldn't see threads and reaction like this. Same with Hanyu coming 5th in the SP. No diehard fans would suggest Hanyu is being short changed on GOE if he were winning - and by a comfortable margin.
It's fine to analyze GOE but to do so right after your skater won Worlds saying everyone deserves lower and your skater who just won deserves higher is really sore winning. And frankly kinda crazy - like, he wins and you complain, he loses you complain... in what scenario are you folks NOT complaining? They sure didn't complain about GOE or PCS that allowed Hanyu to beat Machida back in 2014, or create analyses/post mortems.
Also Hanyu didn't lose Worlds SP in 5th because of unfair GOE as that blog post is suggesting - he lost because he messed up his SP combo giving up a huge amount of points and the other guys lit it up. Also the judges are probably looking at things that we might not be noticing and being more critical about certain things when it comes to certain skaters.
