    There's a reason why quotation marks were used. It's pretty obvious they aren't "real judges" in the sense of gymnastics/diving. But obviously that meaning was totally lost *shrugs*.

    That's what the Americans were complaining about - Nastia looked better to the general audience, especially when she landed cleanly. But apparently on Nastia's landing alone, 0.3 was deducted for her legs being apart when she came off the bars.

    well, with the new system, there's more leeway to being "imperfect". but then again, what is considered a "perfect" routine?
