The one that JG is alleging, and which I am accepting for the sake of
argument.


JG? Something is missing. The message in which you state:

"I guess the question is whether a controller's failure to comply with .65
in any way effects a VFR pilot's reponsbility to comply with 91.130."

Appears as a response to a message from Newps, not JG. It's impossible to
tell what you were referring to since you included no quoted material.
