Well if you don't take Ic3Rabbitt's word for it here is the British Eurosport's version of Patrick's 2016 world lp. The general consensus on GS is that Besp is usually fair to most skaters with no real national bias.Just to be clear, I don't care whether Patrick was right or wrong, was whining or not, for the most part I am fairly indifferent to Patrick.
But you want us to believe that you know more than other folks who were at the same rink at the same time, and saw the same ice that you did, but have different opinions?
To coin a phrase, Typical.:sarcasm:

There are 6 references to the ice condition and how it relates to Patrick's skate. My "transcripts" aren't 100% accurate because I don't want to spend time on this but this is what I heard:
1:00, "ice is a bit rough here"
1:15, "patch of wet right in front the judges"
1:22, "very unusual for world championships to see discrepency on the ice"
4:05, "I can't remember when I've seen worst ice at a world figure skating championships, with so many people in the arena it can change the air temperature and it can affect the quality of the ice"
6:18, (obsevations that Patrick was the 12th skater since ice resurfacing)
7:29 , "the ice, he noted it,,,"
