Just a simple question about execution

After reflecting on Worlds in Bologna I extracted one question about judging, which I may ask to the freestyle community.
Judging Difficulty needs some concentration, knowledge and experience.
Judging AI needs even more concentration, knowledge and experience.
BUT judging Execution needs by far the lowest concentration, knowledge and experience.
Why is the Execution kept so simple?
Why do we not put more intelligence in Execution?
I think counting drops and non restricted catches is by far not enough to reflect the execution of a routine!
What do you Think?

2008 FPA Worlds – Day 4 Midday Report

Short break in the action as we prepare for the last final of the day – co-op. Another super hot, 95 degree day. No results yet, but here’s some highlights of today’s action:

Women

Bianca Strunz & Judith Haas played the cleanest routine from early in the finals. Bianca peeled out and hit every move she wanted (except one). Playing last, Lisa Hunrichs and Cindy Kruger played a solid, high diff, entertaining routine that will likely be the winner once the numbers are announced.

Open Pairs
Heartbreak early in the finals as Flo Hess re-injured his shoulder coming out of a huge gitis only one minute into his performance. He and Carsten Heim were unable to continue. Several teams dedicated their routines to Flo afterwards.

The last four teams all put in huge performances. Dave Lewis/Pat Marron had a two drop routine. Jake and Matt Gauthier had a few more drops (5?) in a very intricate, Gauthier-style show. Tom Leitner and Dave Schiller matched Dave/Pat’s two drop performance. Then, Larry Imperiale and Fabio Sanna closed the finals with a one drop routine. It could be anyone’s title.

Mixed Pairs
Looks like the title will come down to two teams – Amy & Dave Schiller and Lisa Hunrichs/Matt Gauthier. Both had 2-3 drops, so it’s up to the judges to decide which one edges the other.
