Nice how you've now ignored 3 hours of discussion on how artistic merit is 50% of the score and that is a matter of opinion. If the judges thought the same thing about the Canadian performance as I did they wouldn't even have medaled. Instead the judges apparently saw some nice things I missed (probably while trying to gouge my ears out so I wouldn't hear that damn song) so they got the silver. Half the score is subjective, if the judges don't like what they see it doesn't matter how well it's performed, you still lose.

Which is all the more reason for these 'artistic' events to be excluded from the Olympics. BTW, which is better - Pearl Jam or the Boston Pops?

I think you are missng the point. The judges marks don't reflect what they really thought of the programs artistically or technically because the deal was already made to mark them in ordinals no matter what they presented. That has already been admitted by the panel. It wasn't a fair competiton and we don't know what they really thought of the programs and who they thought should have won. What you liked better if fine with me but you can't debate an issue which has already been shown to be a lie. There was no pairs competiton at the olympics. It was a pre-ordained list of ordinals bought and sold by the different skating federations. Thats not an opinion, thats a fact.
