Owing to my inexperience I have ZERO authority to comment on a thread like this. However I did witness a tightly passed ride and afterwards the examiner quickly pulled a copy of regulatory "skill test proficiency tolerances". Not used for pointing fingers or abusing the numbers but rather as a guide. "have a look, I saw you save the aeroplane at the end yet this actually says V2 +10/-0 and I am afraid -15 kt is just more than the turbulence margin mentioned down here in the fine-print." Reading your posting I do now realise why he REALLY carried this on him.
Also I should never forget one exceptional gentleman who said there had been one thing he believed we would benefit from repeating. Priceless, and he actually thinked and worked that way.
