We all agree that Patrick didn't perform well in the Olympics, right? Now let's check his SP PCS:
40.7 (#4)
SS 8.3 (#2, tied Takahashi)
TR 7.85 (#3)
PE 8 (#3 tied Oda)
CH 8.25 (#4)
IN 8.3 (#4)
So in 2009 he did a much better job but his PCS was #3, but in 2010 a poor performance still earned him the #4 position. Just imagine what position he'd have been had it happened in the 2009 worlds.
I am tired of convincing people that PCS can be affected by a skater's reputation. Again, let's agree to disagree. I am done.
