Firstly, the criteria is contradictory, stupid and inappropriate as a basis for judging MMA. They attempted to fix a problem with the old scoring but ended up creating new ones.
This is why judges often ignore it, because it twists itself into knots trying to oversimplify the dynamics of an MMA fight, where the mix of grappling and striking makes it very difficult to judge.
Secondly, it is not damaged-based scoring. We call it that to oversimplify it, but you, and a lot of other people, have taken that oversimplification as if that is literally what the criteria states.
I don't have time to hold your hand and walk you through the criteria, but if you take the time to read it more carefully, you will realise that ground control does still contribute to scoring even if a selective reading of other lines in the criteria could give the mistaken impression that it doesn't, which is the trap you and others have fallen into.
