TES and PCS are separate evaluators as well though, like Math and English, they can be affected by the same circumstances. Someone having a bad day is likely to do less well in different tests. Lower PCS generally go with lower TES but they should be evaluated separately. A skater may be badly affected by a failed jump, even losing chunk of choreography, while another skater will be up and continuing the performance like it didn't happen. There are common factors affecting both but also some affecting one but not the other. I just can't agree with automatic PCS deduction on account of technical under-performance.
