hey, well i hear you, and to contribute this, when i failed the plates at gatwick, i was told that my failure was based on a standard and not on practicle use, the medical officer was at that time the head of medical dept, i scored 13/15 on their plates which were faded, because i retook the test a university eye clinic and passed 15/15, but caa would not even concider this, the lantern was done and according to jaa med manual needs to be done at high brightness, and optometrist tested at low??? i found this out later, but when i tried to argue the case the new CMO, the idiot said that he contested this, OMG....
as you say , CAD is packman pimped up, again they say 100% accurace, my ars*
