If you removed the judges and just made a tap board that was height adjustable then that problem is solved. Much like swimmers have to tap the end of the pool, weight lifters have to raise the bar some % off the ground or above their head relative to their height.
Computers > Humans ftw
Or laser sensors or location devices on the bar itself. Lots of ways I'm sure.
Judging a complete lift isn't the same as judging the results. The result is the weight.
Weightlifting stays.
