I think the FAA intends to enforce the rule as saying that if you would
not
qualify for a 3rd class medical then you are unfit to fly anyway.

This is absolutely NOT true. The FAA has made it very clear
that being able to qualify for a 3rd class medical for your
2 year period and being safe to fly on a specific flight as
a Sport Pilot/glider pilot/balloon pilot are NOT the same
thing. This position is long standing and unchanged. It
appears in FAQ's, regulatory preambles, NPRM's,
administrative decisions and Chief Counsel interpretations.

Problem is the FAA can and will interpret as they see fit with no
consistency. What is true today probably will not be true tomorrow.
