Reducing Jason's programs to some sort of technically easy program that is earning pcs cause he performs his heart is really inaccurate. Despite the lack of a quad, T&I FS has a lot of transitions and choreography packed into it. its backloaded with a 3-1l-3s combo in the last minute In the program.
I was responding to your assertion that Jason is being pushed beyond logic to be national champ or US No. 1. My point is that had Josh not made those silly errors, he would have won, not Jason. He got the highest PCS in the FS not Jason. and for good reason, Josh has always been a step ahead technically then Jason, all the way back when they were juvenile skaters. Jason's relative consistency is what kept him in the game all these years.
If you want to take Jason's 4th place at Worlds as some sort of political play and nitpick at at what you see are his shortcomings then that that's your prerogative. And yes he could have been in 8th too, but that's competition. That's how it worked out that day. Jason's PCS or USA No. 1 status did not cause his competitors to have bad skates. Personally I'd rather those skaters not skate badly.
Finally lets be clear that I'm not disagreeing that Jason needs a quad to be a medal contender, but I think he's done a pretty good job making the most of his skills at this point in his career.
