^^exactly. Again, I'm unfamiliar with Hong Kong CAA policy but if it's like the UK then if you fail you, as a candidate, cannot appeal the result of the sim, but you can appeal the conduct of the TRE if you have good cause. The attitude of Rodney rude (interesting prune moniker) leads me to suspect he isn't a TRE at all. And if he is is suspect he is more bullish on the keyboard than he is at work. At least I would hope so.
