It works exactly as it sets out to. When Christina skates clean and Adelina makes mistakes, that doesn't automatically make Christina's skating skills superior. It means she executed her elements better, and that is reflected in the TES scores.
It's interesting reading some of the negative feedback about Adelina.
Anyone could she she made a few mistakes - but aspects of her skating are superior. Her spins are not just beautiful but difficult. For such a young skater she has beautiful lines and extensions,,,,,,and to me seems very musical.
A few have said she has "little jumps" but I think she has the biggest jumps since Yuna.
Anyway - I think some fans are so impatient they expect perfection from her and nothing less will do.
Adelina - and the others - are skating under a challenging system. This early in the season we typically see few clean programs.
Christina was a pleasant surprise - and hope she keeps it going.
