I know ABIW personally, and if it was as easy as you suggest, he wouldnt be asking the question, for he has been around long enough to deal with it.
You are referring to 'goodwill' based upon ignorance of the rules. One day a Cadet will get hurt, and when the rule books come out, the vendor of such goodwill will get his butt kicked for a million miles.
I do know the rules, and your daughter is very lucky. I have also been at the wrong end of a board of enquiry due to goodwill, and those days are over.
