If letting someone handle the controls counted as instruction, so, logically, would:

Explaining how the aircraft worked, while you're in flight.

Talking through a take-off, landing etc.

Suggesting an airsick passenger put their hands lightly on the stick/yoke, look out the front, and imagine they're flying (while you still fly it of course).

There may or may not be a rule, but maybe a little common sense is required here?
