When retesting the merc front wing it still didn't fail any tests based on the parameters given - hence mercedes didn't push into that boundary as far as red bull did.
There's no such thing as "looks away", if they didn't test the mercedes front wing as per the rule book then again redbull would have a slam dunk law suit. What likely occured is like I said before, they're in the grey area but there is still enough wiggle room because they didn't push it to the absolute limit. Thus mercedes still passes tests.
In regards to what triggered the fia investigation, well mercedes likely played a butt ton of mind games with hamilton's radio call then launched a formal complaint to the FIA - IDK that's just how inter team politics works I guess. In the end the FIA did their tests and that's that.

Simply, what I'm trying to say is that RB didn't pass the eye test and got hammered with new testing.
MB doesn't pass the eye test and it's ignored!
Again, I get what you are saying and respect your opinion but HATE the double standard IMHO...Good nite all
