Well, not quite "irrelevant".

If your PEC has been trained (in any way - including an autoguiding setup), the autoguider will have smaller corrections to make (because they will have already been compensated for). Hence, systems such as the ones in the Meade LX200 allow you to "Train PEC", and then "Update PEC" to further refine it.
