Proper high school mechanics during high school games are a big thing in my area. If Sara said she forgot her preliminary mechanic, it sounds as if prelim signals are important in her area too. Where I work, evaluators care about how the game is called and they also care very much about how the signals are communicated as well. Having the complete package is never a bad thing.

All evaluators are not made the same. All evaluators do not have or carry the same weight. If an evaluator tells me something, it is possible that what they are telling me can and are in conflict with another evaluator or clinician. If you attend many camps you will find different opinions on the very same thing. This is why you have to ask around and figure out what is acceptable. Maybe this particular evaluator is not someone that has any playoff consideration and just works for the local association. Or the person might be a person that reports back to the people that gives out playoff games and other evaluators have been telling officials to do things that are outside of that philosophy. Sometimes an official does not have one solid voice on what to do and what not to do. Not everyone comes from an association that does everything for the official. I think you need to consider that this evaluator just might not have any real say in how this official progresses. I personally can evaluate officials for my local association, but I have no pull to who gets playoff games or how quickly that official advances.
