I can't dispute any of what you say but I'd point out that this CFI
couldn't fly well enough from whatever seat he was in and also that a CFI
with around 1000hrs, 900 of which were gained while employed as a CFI, has
very minimial time actually flyiing instruments, perhaps under 50hrs.

I understood the NTSB report to say that the pilot had about 900 hours
total, as reported by the flight school, with no indication of how much of
that time was accumulated *at* the flight school (though admittedly the
NTSB's wording is a little vague).

True, it is not clear from the NTSB statements. I am making the assumption
that anyone accumulating over 700hrs in two years and working as a CFI
accumulated those hours instructing. My rational is that someone who would
work as a full time CFI is unlikely to be able to afford to pay for most of
those hours and it seems unlikely that a pilot with under 200TT two years
ago would have landed a piloting job between two years ago and today since a
number of hours had to be spent attaining the CFI and Commercial
certificates. Admittedly a speculation on my part.
