ATC separates aircraft; they don't interpret instrument procedures.

Something is lacking in some pilots training to not understand the ideal is to treat major course changes as
flyby waypoints, not flyover waypoints. The only flyover waypoint is a charted flyover waypoint; and there
aren't any of those on VOR approaches.
