I agree with most of your post.  I have to say, though, that IMHO
Musashimaru's performance can only be considered a flop by those
expecting him to break through to yokozuna.  He had a blown yusho, and
several blown matches this year, but I think his overall performance
has been at the solid ozeki level.
