Given that Takahashi is MUCH better artistically and as a performer than Patrick Chan to begin with (you don't have to agree but I'm positing the idea), his overall PCS should generally be higher than Patrick's anyway. However, that never happens. When Takahashi skates better than Patrick - look at the recent Grand Prix Final Long Program - his PCS are still lower.
So, no, your theory is incorrect. Patrick Chan is held up in the PCS more than anyone else in the world of figure skating.
Like Boeing787 said, the thing you held in the highest esteem, such as better artistically and better performer, doesn't worth much in CoP. Patrick is better in SS, TR, CH, even he could match or exceed Takahashi in PE half of the times. The only part that Patrick is a little weaker is his IN due to his limited musicality. Even that, IN would be sometimes in favor of Patrick if you go one by one in the details of definition of IN. Unless you score by your own scoring system, your conclusion is wrong. CoP's result won't satisfy you or anyone who come and seek pure art. And your last sentence was totally baseless!
