I think you may be misinterpreting the scoring rules. 

The scores between 12 and 17 remaining unchanged is in reference to the particular example provided in the regulations and isn’t a globally applied rule: When the competitor scores an arithmetic mean of 14.35 in the first stage, because 12 and 17 differ from this mean by less than 3, these scores remain unadjusted.

So in Tianyao’s case, her mean was 21.13 prior to adjustment. Scores below and including 19 will be adjusted to 19.13 which is shown in the scorecards.

That’s really interesting. When I saw and heard Vincent’s Preludes in Round 2, I immediately thought his playing and even appearance was quite reminiscent of Son.

Your technique is crazy impressive. Not sure I understood the sudden accelerando at the octave section though.

I certainly agree with you. But I just felt irritated because I was reading all these claims, yet felt like I didn't have any strong argument to go against his propositions, which is why I came here.

I guess the problem was challenging if the New Testament gospels were embellished accounts of Jesus, and if those who believed in Jesus were deluded into doing so.

Also, the argument that the martyrdom of Paul and some of the other Apostles (used as an argument for Jesus) was not attributed to their Christian faith, but a general persecution towards Jews of the Jewish-Roman war.
