How is acknowledging start order matters contradictory? Do you disagree with either (a) start order does affect scores or (b) PCS marks how the skater skates the program, rather than their reputation of how "good" a skater they are?
PCS marks reflect what is exhibited in the program presented, not how skilled the skater is outside the context of the program

I don't see anything about start order on your definition of PCS. Or are you just adding excuses to your list to make you feel better? Your excuses would outnumber the posts on this thread. Your posts are more ridiculous than the judges at sochi.
