The whole thing is depressing to even contemplate, because they are not addressing what needs to be addressed, period. Reducing time in the fps doesn't make sense combined with reducing point values for triples, when it's only the quad values that need slight adjustment, along with better decisionmaking surrounding falls, and lots of attention to how PCS are scored. They certainly DO NOT need to mess with reducing values on elements in pairs.
ISU PTB should be trying to listen to coaches and to other knowledgeable people in the skating community to gain better consensus. They also should do some testing and further analysis and reflection before botching things up more than the situation already is right now. Obviously, PCS scores and how they are administered is a huge problem in all of this, which is again taking a back seat. To me, it just seems as if TPTB are more interested in trying to ensure that tech panels and judges maintain power and control. The fact that the ISU botched up by giving too high a point-value spread to quads is now seen as problematic to judges' hegemony, due to Nathan Chen's revolutionary advances in being able to land multiple quads. Also, previous to Nathan's feats, Boyang having been the first to land four quads in a fp with less than stellar skating skills and presentation and being vaulted to the podium as a newbie changed things (and apparently inspired Nathan's feats). It was obvious to me from the beginning that the OTT point value spread for quads was problematic, and I mentioned it often in the face of much dissing by quad fanatics. But oh well, although I can recognize the problems, it's all becoming so ridiculous that at this point who knows what's going to be the outcome next season for the freakin' judging miasma the sport is mired in?!
Most fans, it seems to me become fairly resigned to whatever happens, or make excuses to justify whatever happens if it benefits their faves. I'm guilty of becoming resigned about certain situations because I don't have the power to change anything. Mainly, I try to examine the sport with clear eyes and hope for fair dialogue around these issues, but that's often difficult to find, especially at times like this when a lot has been happening, tensions are high, and fans and skaters alike are so emotional. In general, I try to detach from the scoring and take whatever pleasure I can from skaters' performances, but that too is problematic when political judging and PCS manipulation affects fair placement.
Again, I do not see much hope for the proposed scoring system changes and the state of the sport. There don't seem to be any responsible grown-ups in charge who possess ideas, vision, and grounded common sense.
That's only her avid fans' belief, amidst the whole WTF ZagMed-itis horse and pony show. 
Realistically, Osmond is way better with speed, height, power and ice coverage on her jumps, and she's more mature and dynamic aesthetically. Osmond brung her A-game to the individual event at the Olympics and that was nice to see.
