You may not calculate PR per se, but its equivalent must be folded into the
formula somehow if your explanation is correct, which I assume it is. Your
expectation is based on the rating differences, right? So am I correct that
these are added on a per-game basis, and not averaged?

This value is by definition of perfect score PRs. It has no basis in reality
other than that.

Well then how do you explain my original scenario?
