Yeah, Phil Hersh is "impressed" alright.
“I looked at the way the component score (rules) are written, and Adelina checks off every box. It’s not as aesthetically pleasing as Yuna or Carolina, but she does everything the judges are looking for.”
"...Even so, Hamilton admitted his jaw dropped when he saw the component scores."
It continues as follows:
"...Even so, Hamilton admitted his jaw dropped when he saw the component scores."
What Scott Hamilton personally feel was quite irrelevant compare with what the judging rules written and how they were followed, isn't it?!
PCS is the main subject of issue here. The entire article questions the levelling of certain tech elements, and most of PCS. What anyone "feels" is then a concern.What Scott Hamilton personally feel was quite irrelevant compare with what the judging rules have written and how they were followed, isn't it?!
So...you conveniently cherry-pick your facts and when someone calls you out on it, you backtrack and then claim whatever Scott Hamilton says doesn't matter?
Lawd.

^Except PCS (aka the rules) are based on subjectivity aren't they?
Yes, continue to cherry pick your way through stringing together an argument.
I'm trying to be civil. To explain, I quoted your diction "feel[ing]" to indicate Scott Hamilton's "checkboxes" meant TES. He didn't agree on PCS. You're missing the context.I am just stating the facts based on evidence. I have read that sentence about Scott Hamilton's feeling. What he said about the rules and how Adelina has met what the judges were looking for are indisputable facts, when Scott Hamilton's feeling, or all you YuNa bots' feelings are just subjective feelings, not the rules.
Oh, I see. So now you are admitting that you are using your own feelings against the judges who were trying to follow the rules. In this case, Scott Hamilton has found that the judges have followed the rules. You have taken yourself out of legitimate argument.
I don't understand. How does the fact that 90% of the signatories are from South Korea make the issue any less relevant and urgent, and the complaint less valid? Would a similar petition in favor of a US athlete be dismissed on the ground that 90% of signatories are from US? Please tell me who do you think should sign this petition? Philippinos? Canadians?

Most people come here and question the results based on valid reasons. If you "feel" that's "wrong", then that's how you "feel".
Quite in a melted mood from Hersh, I'd say. The part you have quoted were the usual snarkiness from him. However, if you have read the entire article carefully, you'd have found that the opinions from the retired prominent skaters he chose to put into his article were mostly building the case to validate Adelina's win. With Scott Hamilton ending it in a high note by saying, “I looked at the way the component score (rules) are written, and Adelina checks off every box. It’s not as aesthetically pleasing as Yuna or Carolina, but she does everything the judges are looking for.”
Well if this actually got Scottie to look at the new rules, which he's ignored studiously since they were implemented a decade ago, maybe this whole thing has an upside after all.
