Oh dear... the olde argument that one should not teach somebody to fly on instruments, because they might use those [vital life-saving] skills, and come to harm...

Why do they teach the 180 in IMC in the basic PPL? Surely that's a bad idea because no flight in IMC should be taught. Proper airmanship dictates that the pilot should die.

No instructing allowed outside training organisations
In the USA you can do that. Of course, the USA is covered with aircraft wreckage, so clearly that's a bad thing. So, why does JAA require this? Job protection - that's all. Like everything that happens in Europe.
