An interesting concept,
IO540 - however I don't quite follow the reasoning because if two mutually contradictory statements come from the same "authoritative source", how then can that principle be applied?
In LASORS, there is also the caveat, which reads:
Nothing in this publication is meant to conflict with aviation legislation. Where there is any doubt the legislation must be regarded as definitive. The precise privileges of licences and ratings are set out in Schedule 8 of the Air Navigation Order (please refer to Section A, Appendix F).
