You call the word "weird" harsh? Wow, you are a really, really sensitive guy.
Here's what I don't get: You were complaining -sorry, too harsh- expressing your concerns about a scoring system that bottom line only reduces the maximum number of played points per match (without setting) from 120 (3 x 21:19) to 100 (5 x 11:9) and say that this is too much of a change. And all of a sudden you're suggesting far bigger changes with varying scoring based on WR ranking(!) of the players? Yeah, that is totally not weird.
This exactly.
Why not? Given that each game will have setting up to 15 points, there will be endless possibility to create drama and thrills towards the end of each game. Maybe it's just me, but I get the biggest thrills when a game goes into setting since pretty much everything can happen there within seconds. Would you change channels or peak into your Instagram at a 23:24 scoreline? If PVS vs. NO would have ended with an imagined scoreline of let's say 9:11, 15:13, 12:10, 11:13, 15:14 - why would it have been in any way less exciting? And by the way, that would be only 1 point less than the original match (21:19, 20:22, 22:20), so it wouldn't have been any shorter and both players would have been equally at the end of their phyical limit.
On the plus side, there could have been five total thrill-peaks instead of three.
Bottom line: It's possible that the match would have been equally exciting overall.
A comparison with snooker for example is lacking since snooker is mostly a mentally demanding sport (and the longer matches are played over various sessions and even two days if necessary). I've watched snooker quite a bit when I was still in university and let me tell you that the later stages of the WC were a nightmare to watch. You'd have to wait a day before a match remotely got close to a deciding phase. If one player had a comfortable lead, it was normal that he took kind of a break for several frames and in fact giving them away to recover for the deciding phase. So no, snooker is not an example that's worth copying imo.
