To judge edges, you have to look at other elements, like spirals, some spins, Ina Bauer, etc.
There are certain reasons, why skaters don't land their jumps, and they are over rotating, or under rotating (Sasha tends to over rotate her jumps), position in the air, wrong timing, and so on. All of it has nothing to do with edges.
Yes, ultimately skaters needs to hold on to the edge, after landing, but what messes them up is a mistake in the jump technique itself, not having a not deep enough edge.
