that's the quickest way to:
1) spend more money in long run
2) get injured or get someone else injured
if you believe you were unfairly treated you can look up the rules (see below). and you can get a 2nd opinion by asking someone else, though it may cost $15 if they agree it should be re-checked.

it's very simple the "real rule" is that
1) if it causes death on a highway (ie, 50+ mph) it FAILS. this can be anything really. if your mirror can fall off: fail - that'd cause a highway death of someone behind you. lights out? in dark fog you might get hit by a mac truck.
2) emmisions are OK (note far from good does pass) (if they aren't you have engine problems that will cause engine failure if not repaired, and you can't intently destroy your engine while smogging air; you must repair or let someone who will get it)
