Admittedly I don't know all the "facts" in this incident (and anyone not directly involved in the competition doesn't either) but in general I think that any judging/scoring errors should be left as-is, where-is. All of these human judged events have a huge element of subjectivity and potential for human error. That's the way sporting events have always been. Adding the BS of hindsight reviews, slow-mo cams, political pressures, and medal revocations is not in the best interest of the sport or the athletes.

If anything I figure they should issue dual-medals i.e. declare a "tie".
