I absolutely agree that that judge should not have been judging that category if they don't understand the nature of the S/H/V category. Frankly, I would expect that anyone who would write that comment on a scoresheet would not make a good judge of hardly any categories, as that person seems like one of those "if I like it, it's good; if not, it's bad" judges that screw up competitions all over the place.
However, I also understand the reality of running a competition. In many competitions, especially the larger ones, you have pressure to get the entries judged. A lot of folks do not like to judge S/H/V or Specialty, so those often are the last ones left. Still, they have to be done. If you have a flight that needs to be judged, you have a ready and willing judge, and you have no better alternative, then you just might have to go with what you have and hope for the best. Keeping in mind that it may take a couple hours or so to judge a flight, you often cannot just wait for another judge to come around and bail you out. Also, keep in mind that an entrant is disqualified from judging a category where that entrant has entries. Especially in the case of S/H/V, you usually have the best prospective judges entered in the category, so you have to go with what's left.
It still ticks me off, though.
