Because it was a bailed 4T, that 3T had huge distance and height, and good flow on the landing -- the marring quality about it was the air position and the lack of transitions going into it, but a novice skater would not go into a 3T with that much speed or get that much distance. As you can see, most judges gave him 0 (and one gave -1) for that because it was obviously a bailed quad, but it was still a giant 3T. And what's the big deal? He got 4.3 points with +0.2 GOE anyways? If all judges gave him -1, he would have gotten 3.4 points.
As much as you want to bash him, he still wins or places high because he's a good skater, so that's just something you're going to have to accept. If he weren't a superior skater in the field (and obviously I've acknowledged that other skaters have superior qualities, like Dai's PE/IN) he wouldn't be getting the PCS he gets. And for those crying about his PCS, he was 7.5 points lower than his personal best and received just 8.00 for PE, and lost the PE/IN PCS marks to Abbott and Takahashi.
Time set- the time when your post was posted. Since now no one will ever remember that Chan was booed in Nice and that he won two Worlds titles in the row that he didn't deserve. Yes, no one will ever mention it. Check up later.
I too can type. Chan is not a superior skater in the field, there are others who are of a better quality. But the Chan defenders's love of him makes them adamantly refuse to acknowledge other skaters' skating ability, their general higher base value/GOE, and the fact that they don't butt most of their jumps/spins. It's kind of hilarious (if not pathetic) and this will go on...
