The Q seemed like some weird idea they had where they thought skaters should have another call that wasn’t too harsh (which kind of tells us they’re starting to think the overemphasis on quarter rotation is overtaking every other thing that is important in a jump and in skating), but now it is being used as a substitute when they think the jump is clean enough but want to see lower GOEs where in the past a skater would have probably received no call at all since the benefit of the doubt would have went their way.The author of this article is among the crazy Fanyu bunch on Twitter (who just wished "bad karma" on U. S. skaters) so it's not surprising at all. I do think the q thing needs to go though as it's very prone to be abused.
