I would imagine someone who gained a First in Philosophy (surely as intellectually rigorous as physics) in an Arts Faculty would have been highly piddled off to discover that his degree was considered to be worth only 8/10 of some chemist's, say, in a Science Faculty.
It seems most odd to me that scientists - of all people - can claim that 100% (a perfect French student's actual score in his actual exams) will be considered to be just 80%. I think this is a perfect example of where that wonderful word 'deemed' comes into its own!
