Actually, the rules do not say that fallen 4T is worth 6.3 points. The new rules on GOE only require that the final GOE be reduced by 3 points from where it otherwise would be without the fall, and must be negative. So the highest value a fallen 4T gets is BV+GOE+Deduction = 10.3+(-1)+(-1) = 8.3. On the other hand, the best possible triple lutz is BV + 0.7*GOE = 6.0 + 2.1 = 8.1.
So yes, a fallen quad can still be worth more than the very best triple lutz.
I think it ought to be that a cheated quad is slightly worth more than the very best triple lutz.
A fall on any jump should be worth zero, because if someone fell on a jump, there was already something fundamentally wrong with the take off, which would mean there was something wrong with the air position.
