Put a bit of balance into your posts - you are the one sounding stupid and arrogant when you suggest PPLH flying can't be improved and that all of those of us with licences and experience have nothing to offer.
Yes, but only because of what I read on here!


Of course one can always strive to improve things but when that comes down to "lets not let those silly young people be instructors, lets only allow us terribly experienced, competent and lets face it, awfully clever people to be instructors." that just comes across as arrogant and stupid.


PPL standards, training and competency and ATPL standards are likely to be different. Get over it!


That said, I have encountered some pretty incompetent ATPLs and some pretty competent PPLs - there are always exceptions!
