Default question on student taxi practice

"Correct" me all you want if it makes you happy. I happen to be a
certified flight instructor


Whoopee. Lots of CFIs don't have their facts straight.

and that investment in training and
experience leads me down the path of thinking that it would be
very poor judgment indeed for a CFI to encourage or allow a student
pilot without a solo endorsement to operate an aircraft, even if
'only' in taxi.


Indeed it probably would be. I agree that a student should not be solo
taxiing until they are qualified for solo flight, and have the necessary
solo endorsement.

However, that isn't the question you replied to, nor is it the response you
gave. Regardless of what is prudent and reasonable, it is LEGAL for a
non-pilot to taxi an airplane, student or otherwise.

If an incident ocurred the CFI could (and probably
would) be cited.


Not if it were during a taxi operation, on the ground, not in flight.
