Exactly. I hated doing them but had to do them for competition.No, you get spirals from people who are good at them or want to do them.
No you don't ONLY get good spirals from role models. Skaters need to have the basic flexibility to start with. They might be inspired by the good spirals but not every one is going to be a Kwan or Cohen.No, you only get good spirals from people who base their identity off of role modeling older skaters.
As for comments about what IJS has been good for, the discipline that has probably improved the most by the introduction of IJS requirements is Synchronised Skating. It used to be marching girls on ice. Now the basic skating quality has risen along with the creativity and structure of the programs. And that is your biggest competitive division out of all of them. Not singles, pairs or dance. It's synchro.
