The impression I and many others got was that Mr. H's post was alleging not just that IMCR instruction time does not count but that IMCR flying time under IFR does not count. The latter is clearly wrong; the former would appear to be correct but irrelevant as anyone doing an FAA IR gets over 15 hours anyway from the instructor at the FTO, as has been pointed out here already. He appears to have used this point of view as a means of attacking publically someone who quite legitimately holds an FAA IR.
