It was also Damon who once referred to Josh as "Plushenko 2.0" in an article because of Josh's fantastic air position and security with it at the time.
You want to talk PCS issues? One of the biggest jokes of the 2012-2013 season was the fact that Josh and Maxim Kovtun were only a point apart after the SP at the JGPF and that Kovtun's PCS were actually comparable to Josh's. LOL, NO, JUDGES.
For posterity, let's just note the quad status of all four podium finishers at Nats.
Jason: SP nil, LP nil*
Adam: SP 4Lz<, LP 4Lz<<
Josh: SP nil, LP 4T (-GOE)
Max: SP 4S (-GOE), LP 4S-3T (+2), 4S (-GOE)
*- backloads like a freaking boss, though. Awesome.
I think a LOT of people who are carrying on about Adam seem to forget that he did not rotate ANY of his attempts. Josh has been getting credit for rotation for forever on his 4T even when he falls, and I don't think I've EVER seen a < next to Max's 4S. (Side note: he doesn't fall off them, either. The last time he did was probably 2012 Nats.)
