CASA farnsworth pass criteria

It seems in the following; "CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY REGULATIONS 1998 - REG 67.150", a person meets medical standard 1 (on the farnsworth) if they:

...readily identify aviation coloured lights displayed by means of a Farnsworth colour-perception lantern, making:

(i) no errors on 1 run of 9 pairs of lights; or
(ii) no more than 2 errors on a sequence of 2 runs of 9 pairs of lights

I was wondering what people's opinion would be on whether CASA should deem me 'colour safe' when I had the following outcome with my farnsworth test:

5 errors out of 9 with the first run,
3 errors out of 9 with the second run,
and 0 errors out of 9 with the third run.

The way I interpret this is that I satisfy (i) with no errors on 1 run of 9 pair of lights. If I submitted a "Reconsideration of decision on medical certification", what chance would I have of reversing their decision on my colour perception?

Does anyone have any insight on this? If I can get 0 errors on a run of 9 pairs, shouldn't that be considered a pass? 14 FEB 2012
