The only time I had a problem with GoE was when I saw a combo (a gorgeous combo) get in excess of 5 points GOE—because of the pro-ratio to the BV total. Once someone explained the pro-ratio to me, I understood how it was possible.
The jumps that have high GOE usually are noticeably spectacular, either in height, speed of rotation or the softness of landing/glide afterward. I love jumps and I love energy/speed/daring, and, for the most part, I see those rewarded in gentlemen’s division.
PCS remain a black box for me. I find that what is my thing is often not the judges’ thing. So, yes, I wish I could hear what is the judges’ thing without replacing the question marks with sour grapes. But if it is the matters of precedent, taste and reputation, I can’t help but feel a bit disillusioned.
My mom says that the PCS are so high because Brown skates more like they skated at the turn of the century, vs the current generation. I dunno, maybe that’s the best explanation.
