First time i heard about it was yesterday from a mate, i agree pedantic.....but it is an interesting issue....sometimes it helps to be prepared and have some return ammuntion when you have to fly with a pedantic person.
Other times it's just nice to try to figure out the real meaning.
Especially when you hear about people being failed on checks because they used PAPI distances (7nm) on an ILS surveyed RWY (Perth rwy 03) yet they are failed because the use of the ILS is not yet approved.
