I'm not so sure Oda's transition marks should go way down. I mean HE does have incredibly difficult entrances in all of his jumps. Transitions shouldn't just be about quantity, quality should matter. In terms of choregraphy/and performance-yes Oda deserves to go down. At the very least its not fair to say Oda has no transitions.
But as for why do the judges give Patrick high marks on all the PCS, well these are the same judges who give Joubert and Plushenko high marks for transitions for their lack of such. Its pretty clear PCS are all about reputation... In general Patrick Interperation scores when he skates well don't bother me nearly as much as the concept of him getting huge scores for messy programs.
