Looks like the FSDO just referenced and quoted Lynch.

Hi,

John Lynch's latest FAQ (#19) says:

I don't pretend to know the "correct" answer, but here are the words
of another "authority."

We took your question about the tailwheel BFR to the local FSDO, who
shot it up to the FAA Headquarters, who just came out with this
official stance:

Question: The situation is a flight instructor has asked the question
whether he can give a flight review in a tailwheel airplane and yet he
has not previously met the additional training requirements for
operating a tailwheel airplane [i.e., § 61.31(i)].

Answer: Ref. § 61.1(b)(2); § 61.56(c)(1); No, a flight instructor
cannot give a flight review in a tailwheel airplane unless he has
complied with § 61.31(i). Per § 61.56(c)(1), it states, in pertinent
part, ". . . by an authorized instructor . . . ." Per §
61.1(b)(2)(ii), it states, in pertinent part, ". . . in accordance
with the privileges and limitations of his or her flight instructor
certificate . . . ." The flight instructor would not be considered an
"authorized instructor" for giving a flight review in a tailwheel
airplane.
