Getting back in the spirit of the thread...

Gymnastics is not a sport.  In fact nothing with a judged outcome, is a sport.  They can be highly competitive athletic events requiring tremendous individual skill, but still, not a sport.
This may be realize that a called strike three is almost a judged outcome.

What about NCAA swimming and diving? 

There's a judged element with the diving, but then there are also races.

Swimming's a sport.  Diving's not a sport.

Although I'll certainly continue to be happy about any swimming and diving trophies the NCAA wants to throw Texas' way...

There are judges, but not to judge form, just distance or time etc.  Golf could be a sport for those who carry their own clubs and walk ...

What if in the near future all judges were AI based so that all biases were removed and all scoring was done fairly?

I used to get a kick out of the East German judges scoring in events.

I've totally quit watching any activity that involves complex judging, I just don't care.

It's akin to reading a review of a recent concert, it's someone's opinion, not mine.
