Maybe this is why there are occasionally remarks about quality of instructors these days - nobody cares what the standards are!
Well, that's a sweeping statement that's so far from the truth that it's unbelieveable.
Judging the competency of a fellow FI based soley on one remark is ludicrous and has all the hallmarks of the reactionary nonsense that blights this forum and the mass media. This chap might be the best FI ever to walk the planet, he may be the worst, but based on one comment, it is impossible to tell.
