Yes you are correct, I wasn't disputing that.
This business of instructing without CPL knowledge but for LAPL only is very recent incarnation under EASA.
The point I was making is the example in Skyhighfallguys post was referring to the pre-JAA days where prior to the BCPL introduction you didn't need a CPL for instructing. Therefore Skyhighfall was referring to very outdated CAA regs.
The new EASA reg of been able to instruct for the LAPL without CPL knowledge sort of mirrors the old CAA system, but back in the CAA days there was only a CAA PPL, there was no LAPL/NPPL categories therefore instructors were able to instruct for the PPL with only PPL+AFI/QFI rating.
Skyhigh example was a CAA AFI or QFI only holding a PPL, not a JAA PPL with an FI(A) rating.
