O.K. Troops here are my comments.
First lets get this out of the way.

Before we can intelligently reply to the issues that Smith outlined in the first post here we must understand that connecting FAA / CAA and logic can be probmematic if we try and connect the dots using that avenue to search for an answer.
I see nothing wrong with the instructor expecting Smith to demonstrate correct control inputs into the recovery from the situation that the airplane had progerssed to.
He stated clearly that he was over controlling with rudder in a critical attitude at full power.
Further training in the handling of the airplane in question was not an unreasonable expectation on the part of the instructor that was evaluating his skills level to safely fly the Cessna 152.
I do not really think that something as acedemic as this issue required six pages of hand wringing and navel gazing to give him an answer to his question.
There that is about as simple as I can put it troops.
