We don't have all the information, but consider for a moment if the examiner has made an error in the conduct of the test which leaves the 'fail' result tenuous.
Putting the issue of costs (and any bruised ego) aside for a moment, cookiimonstar1 is going to spend the next few years filling out airline applications for his first job, and he will be ticking the "Yes" box to the question "Have you ever failed a flight test?". He will be excluded from any airline selection process which only accept a first series pass (why else is the box there but to act as a filter for the thousands of applications).
I know from personal experience it's on nearly every application for cadet positions, that box is a sore point for me and I royally screwed up my flight test entirely on my own, without any help from an examiner
.
So I can understand why he doesn't want to 'take it on the chin'.
Unfortunately I think the way he has presented himself in this thread suggests a failed CPL test is going to be the least of his worries in the future.
