Your comment: "Sure. My need to explain it shows you have no ATC experience and hence have been telling porkies" raises an attitude problem.
Why not help as opposed to being a negative git. Give the benefit of your worldwide experience to educate all.
The poster obviously has ATC experience but is perhaps limited to exposure to western ways of working.
Cut some slack and get off your high horse/donkey.
Cauatc, the CAP 717 document is the best that it available.
Good luck with your work.
Cheers
