The Russian had 7 flawless triples. Kim had 6. The Russian had more difficult combos and a more difficult spin. Her technical scores weren't out of line. More so when she hit all of her harder elements in bonus time. If she botched her 7th triple she would have got a silver but she stepped out on a double. The 7th triple and harder combos and spin more than make up for that in the scoring system. If Kim had a 7th triple or had done the more diifficult combo she would have won.

It's funny that Wagner comments on it. Wagners program had a higher starting technical score than Kim's. She just can't land worth shit so she lost a lot of points.

The Russian went balls to the wall and Kim and the Italian skated flawlessly but both skated conservatively. Of the top 7 skaters they had the lowest starting technical scores.

I had written a long reply going over all your points but it was lost by the iPhone Safari page refresh. Maybe I'll rewrite later if I feel like it but I'm still down and disappointed as Yuna and skating fan. Few are starting to speak out but it won't matter. http://www.thewire.com/culture/2014/02/why-people-think-adelina-sotnikovas-figure-skating-gold-medal-was-rigged/358344/#disqus_thread

The reader comments in the Wire article sums up most of my thoughts about the judging. The big one is Russian triple lutz jump combination sequence which should've been downgraded for under rotation. Not to mention level 4 for sloppy step sequences when Mao and Yuna both received 3 with better steps.
