The reference here is to what? That since it hasn't been "caught" is
must be OK?

I once had to fly to Cleveland to rescue a CFI applicant that had
loose carpet in the pilot's footwell.

The inspector and I came to an agreement that the carpet wasn't
"required equipment", so I tore it out and threw in the trash can so
the prospective CFI could take his ride.
