You and I are so diametrically opposed in our opinions on how to conduct
flight instruction that at this point I think I'll just hope we can agree to
disagree and bid each other a friendly goodbye :-)

Making a case for allowing a 2 hour student to taxi an airplane
unsupervised is something you might want to revisit.

Well, all we know about the pilot is that he is a "two hour student",
which doesn't say much. The same argument you made could be made for IFR
flight - allowing a ten hour student to fly an airplane all by himself,
through the air, and a hundred miles an hour, even though he is not ready
to fly in instrument conditions. The issue =there= is also instructor
judgement. However, the lack of instrument experience has no bearing if
the student is not going to fly on instruments. Likewise, the (presumed)
lack of ability to fly through the air safely and land gently has no
bearing if the student is only going to taxi at ten knots with a
nosewheel.

Instructor judgement would include this.
