Genghis,
(i) The point is why one rule for one and one for the other - is the fact you are only completing an NPPL reason to exempt you from the same medical requirements? They are after all now piloting light aircraft and by your own argument are now prime cases to keel over at the wheel !!! The point is that the NPPL medical requirements make a farce of the entire system
(ii) As for the UK/US PPL, I stated in my last post that this licence could be cross-accepeted in either country but not others - the Instrument Rating being a prime example. If the US are such bad flyers that their licences aren't worth accepting in the EU then why do we got on their planes when we go on holiday?
So I think we got our facts right for the point we are trying to make, maybe you should re-read the thread.
