Well, I wouldn't worry about that too much. Unless they can make a
legitimate argument that the questions are
unnecessary/irrelevant/illogical or are "self-protectionist" and simply
meant to make the test over-difficult so as to control numbers or who
can enter amateur radio, what would give them a leg to stand on?

Perhaps they could also make the argument that the tests are
"obsfucated", deliberately misleading or "entangled with deliberate
complexity" in an effort to confuse and mislead. However, that would be
quite apparent to the avg educated joe who is familiar with
radio/electronics.

No, unless they would have a legitimate argument, they would most likely
be dismissed along with any of their false claims.
