Whenever you get judges' results like 98.5, 97, 99.25, and 98.3 from any kind of a panel, you do not at that time have a sport. You have opinions of a performance, and not an honest rendering of the actual performance . . . and that's what it is . . . a performance.
It actually gauls me when people get all choked up over one low result of 4 or 5 panelists and have them consider that a sport.
Baseball is never decided on a panel of opinions.
Well, thank you for your subjective opinion. ;)
I kind of agree with you, but then again I always say golf isn’t a sport because you wear dress pants and walk. And boxing is most definitely a sport even though the three judges frequently disagree (though that is mainly because of human perception limits).
