Reply #24: Sports doesn't work that way...

Adding points to the middle of an event goes against everything sports stands for -- when you change the middle of a competition, you can't assume that everything would have happened the same way afterwards. That's why you have to protest things immediately in EVERY sport. If you think a runner left too early on a sacrifice fly, you MUST appeal before the next pitch. If you want to go to instant replay in football, you MUST appeal before the next snap. It's the way sports is.

Also, one clear-cut mistake cost the Korean 0.1, and the other one (too many stops) saved him a deduction of 0.2. Hamm won the live competition, and if you go to the videotape looking for technicalities in the Korean's routine, he still wins.
