I agree there's no point in telling someone with a bad leg they can't dance well.

It shouldn't be about progression though as that would mean the people who progress from truly abysmal to mediocre would win over people who went from very good to excellent - it would be a farce as the judges tore their hair out as their marks were ignored.

I am more worried by the silly comments that the older dancers are not light enough on their feet - it seems pretty obvious that your idea of quality as a judge has to reflect the whole picture and make an adjustment for it in the comments but possibly not the marks. Telling someone to move like someone 20 years younger than them is plain silly.
