when you put it like that I agree
but there are other ways you can obtain a yes - ie by actually doing the EASA Night Qual - after all there is no indication that he wishes to circumvent anything merely wants to work out how he can obtain his FAA 'tickets'.
International people and others are just tormented by complex incompatible regionally different regulatory requirements and there is a negative assumption that they are 'circumventing' whereas they are often merely attempting to jump through the hoops in as many jurisdictions as they can in order to enjoy something approaching personal freedom.
maybe I have an overly constructive and positive approach ....
