Should I request a reread?

I took the CCIE R&S in San Jose on Monday and walked out knowing that
I had passed. During the TS section I completed all tickets and
verified them 100% with 30 minutes to spare. I spent this 30 minutes
double, triple checking every part of every ticket, reviewing the
rules and restrictions to verify I did not violate anything. Come to
find out, I failed the troubleshooting section and passed the
configuration. I could not believe that I failed the troubleshooting
and it took me some time to figure out why I failed but I believe it
was because of misinformation from the proctor. I had asked the
proctor a question regarding one of the tickets which I believe he
gave me the wrong information on. Due to NDA I can not tell you what
the ticket was or what the misinformation he gave me was. It was
simple clarification question on what the end result of a question
should be. It had nothing to do with my technical knowledge but
interpretation of the question. Our conversation is below:

Me: "Is the question asking me to do A or B?"
Proctor: "Can you make B happen?"
Me: "Yes"
Proctor: "Then do that"

Looking back on that conversation and the ticket itself, I realized
that he gave me the wrong information. I was supposed to do it the
other way which is why I missed that question. If I had done it the
other way, I would have received credit for that ticket and therefore
would have passed the exam. He seemed to be a little unsure himself
about whether I should do it one way or another. If he had graded the
lab himself, I believe he would have gave me credit for it since he
told me to do it that way.

So my question is: Should I request a reread or just reschedule for
another attempt? Has anyone done a reread and is this the type of
thing that would take a grade from FAIL to PASS? I noticed on the
page that when you request a reread, they provide you with a place for
comments where I could describe, in detail, this same scenario and
hope that they would talk to my proctor who could confirm our
conversation.
