That's not technically correct, just practically correct. _IF_ everything
else was "perfect", accuracy only counts for 1 point from each judge so it
would be possible to win a gold in everything but Masters, I believe. The
reality is, however, that invariably mistakes in accuracy are accompanied by
mistakes in the other areas of more or less the same magnitude. In other
words, most models and modelers are pretty well proportioned across the
categories. There are many (like me) who are really good in one or two
aspects (say, accuracy) but only middling in most others. The reverse -
where someone is exceptionally good in all areas save one where he stinks -
is virtually non-existent.
On the other hand, I'd say it was virtually impossible for an AMPS model
with "nine 10s and a 0", as it were, to win a "Best of" category.
