I suspect that tmagee, in his eloquent fashion, is venting frustration at the time-wasters that he must encounter who inflate their hours by dubious means. Some of them must slip through the system and cause grief to the airlines once they're already in a job. We all remember the recent highly publicised case of the charter airline first-officer who was only caught out when he applied for a command. Whilst I have no problem with people clarifying which column to log the occasional few hours in where it may be unclear, I'm sure that I am not alone in despising those who do anything they can to fudge their experience. This totally undermines the position of the majority of us, who have fought hard for every hour logged. I frequently hear rumours about people visiting the States in pairs to hour-build, with the underlying intention of both logging time as P1. I hope they get caught before they beat me to a job, or worse...
