requiring absolute, unconditional deference to the FAA's interpretations

You'll never find that. However, it would certainly be sufficient to find
a case where an unreasonable definition was upheld.

It depends. That would still be troubling, but nowhere near as troubling as
the absolute-deference requirement that some people believe exists. The
important difference is that upholding a particular unreasonable
interpretation would not automatically generalize to requiring all
unreasonable interpretations to be upheld. But so far, no one here has
documented even a single instance of a blatantly unreasonable FAA
interpretation of the FARs being upheld.
