I happen to believe that the pilot was correct, did not need to ask for
permission and was free to enter the class C.


You've made it very clear that is what you believe, what you haven't
explained is why you believe it.

Oh, sure I have. Authorization to enter the class C is defined by two-way
radio communication lacking instructions to remain clear. The AIM provides
the simple phrase "Cessna 1234, standby" as an example defining two-way
radio communication. There is no FAR or AIM description that says that once
a "remain clear" has been issued that a more explicit instruction to enter
is required.




But, thanks to all this debate BS, I at least now know that it may
not be clear cut. The next time I talk to the controllers at my
home base, I'll ask them.


What makes you think they'd know anything about it?



'Cause they control the class D around my home airport.
