Scoring is making the minimum number of throws players of a skill level can realistically throw on a hole. Scoring is done by playing the hole/course, not against others. Score distribution and setting par are constructs for derived medal play competition with others independent from players playing the holes/course. That realistic minimum score, considered "scoring" by many, exists whether the current competition constructs call it a birdie or par. It makes more sense and will be easier for players, commentators and spectators to comprehend if that minimum score is always defined as a birdie on each hole with par being one stroke higher. Then, when you see a blue score on a hole, the player has scored against the challenges of the hole.
