We get it. You liked Liu's performance. You also liked Lu's performance. Which is fine. You disagreed with the judges. That's fine too.
I haven't yet listened to any of the performances, so I don't know where I would land, if I were scoring myself.

When Van Cliburn won the Tchaikovsky competition S. Richter was a judge. Hegave Van a 10 and nothing to anybody else. They told him he had to rank the performers. He refused and was never asked back to judge. He simply felt there was no real competition for Van Cliburn

And, frankly, I don't agree with that kind of behavior, which attempts to minimize the impact of the input from the other judges (who are trying to play the game more fairly). (BTW, I think I heard that story with Gilels mentioned instead of Richter? - I could well be mistaken however.)
"I'd NEVER do something like that!"
Say, compared to Richter.
At that moment Richter thought he was. Van never really developed his career. Small repertoire and he really burned out pretty early. I think he had so much fame so early and made so much money that he never worked hard enough to have a long concert career
