re: Gymnastic judges re-figured beam scores

There could have been an appeal as to the degree of difficulty for a given routine. There are also specific point deductions for not performing a specific skill and how far a slip was. Not sure if they use video, but gymnastics TV coverage has a long way to go in explaining these things

That could very well be the case. I was not clear whether coaches are allowed to question judge's scoring. It would seem that it would require video if for example the issue was how far a slip was.

Do the judges confer with each other or just score independently and then average the scores.
