certainly don't feel I deserve to pass, I didn't get the
short-field-on-the numbers landing right (coming in considerably down
from the numbers) but the examiner then asked me for a soft field "on
the numbers" which I did get on the numbers so was passed based on
that.

I didn't get the short-field landing right on my checkride either. The
DE told me "that wasn't very short!" and had me park the airplane,
whereupon she passed me.

It's more about safe piloting than it is about perfect piloting. But
my next four landings were spot-on-the-numbers!

My DE told me that if I blew the short field landing, as in it wasn't short,
I would fail. I kinda agree since if you mess that one up on a real life
short field you'll probably drive into some trees. I did mess up the first
approach so I did a go-around and set it up better the 2nd time.
