If EASA publish a syllabus that cracks these two problems, I'll be there like a shot - along I'm sure with quite a few other people.
It is not the role of EASA to produce a syllabus. Their task is to produce safety related requirements! The AMC contains hundreds of pages of meaningless crap that purports to be syllabi; these unquantifiable lists are not a basis for teaching, examining or anything else, they are just junk, and you want more of the same!
