MM and gkelly you both make good points. It's easy for us fans to Monday Morning quarterback and say why didn't you just do X jump instead? But imagine having to try to make that on-the-spot decision in competition.
I suppose good planning/design helps, i.e. Javier Fernandez probably is asking for trouble by doing 4 salchows in his FS (2 quads and 2 triples). And maybe Oda shouldn't tried to include 3 toe-loops in his 2011 FS.
But I feel the double jump rule can cause a lot of unintentional zayaks.
