Yeah, but it seems to work with gymnastics and figure skating... maybe the IPC can take some pointers.

Oh, hello again!

Nope - i have heard very similar discussions about gymnastics, and i would imagine figure skating is exactly the same. Anything that is subjective will always have people complaining.

If it's so subjective, why even score it at all? Make it a fully demonstration event about showing the world new stuff.

It'll always evolve and spin of objectively scorable disciplines like VRW, and skills presentation requirements incorporated solely of compulsories. So those that need to 'compete' and 'win' can have that - and the sport needs that aspect just as much as 'free' exploration of style.

But the "pure" stuff can just be unscorable and for demo only.

Or, let the spectators judge it and 'really' leave it up to what's considered 'neat' and deal with some crowds always playing favorites.

Sweet, and the camera guy standing there with a goofy smiles giving 'thumbs up', holding up a #2 sign (that's problematic for different reasons), and talking about how the "fans" make it all possible for him.
