Skin Quality vs Scale Quality

Okay gang, just moved my question in its own thread...would appreciate further discussion regarding Skin Quality. Especially how it relates to different parts of the koi (head, shoulders, tail bottom, etc.)

I would like to know if skin quality and (scale quality) have any relationship with each other? Much like the comparison of cotton fibers compared with silk fibers...Is the presence of smaller or tighter scalation possible indicator for a better chance of developing high quality skin? Would be funny if there was a relationship....I can see it now...everyone would be counting rows of scales on the koi before purchasing...."Hey Joe, how many rows you got on that one..." Hahaha...Just wondering...I had to ask.
