Yep!
Re post 326. the old Day VFR syllabus was a collaborative effort of many CFIs, I was one of them; and the MOS is taken mostly from there, not written by an individual.
It's far from perfect as you would expect when a bunch of CFIs try to agree on what is a good landing, but as I said that is the book they will throw at you so you just have to learn to work with it and if you think it needs improving then talk to your local CASA person, good luck with that!
It isn't set in concrete as seen with the recent change of the unit "Recover from incipient spin" to "avoid spin" and there was consultation on that.
