The trick with arguments is knowing when it's best to accept that, even if you're right, it's more prudent to not keep pushing it.

So you could have actually had a completely fumbled up flight, making mistake after mistake but have decided to pursue this one element?

Firstly, the examiner provided you with an invaluable lesson. It was just a very expensive one. Secondly, maybe the examiner saw the wrong setting at the beginning but figured (as you'd have already paid for the hire of the plane, etc). that it'd be unfair to say "turn back now" and thought he'd give you the chance to prove you could do everything else right? I'm sure the flight must have provided other learning/practice opportunities for you? If you think of the exam flight as being an opprtunity to conduct the entire flight with zero input (so there's no instructor to help you out) then it's a really useful training flight...from which some people get a pass and others don't.
