All it takes is one evaluator who is badge protecting to keep anyone from getting it.
He doesn't even have to cheat. Just watch you real closely.
We used to have 18D instructors failing students because the students were allegedly inserting the IV needles 5 degrees off straight up bevel. Failed to met the specified standard, you are a NO GO at this station.
Saw the same thing at EIB testing. Passed everything else, "stayed up too long" while throwing the grenade. Up, orient, aim, toss, and back down behind cover. "Too slow. NO GO. Next."

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
