On point (1) above, I would consider it a serious mistake to assume
that anyone, no matter what their perceived experience level, can be
depended upon not to allow you to "fly into a potentially dangerous
situation". Keep in mind, during a BFR you are the PIC, not a student.
If a CFI-G asks you to do something which you feel is unsafe during a
BFR, you should politely, but firmly, refuse. For all you know, it
may be part of what he's checking...
