-waste the opportunity.

But that's not really the point. If a CFI doesn't do he job, and it's
discovered by the FAA by any circumstances, they will pay a price.

But that is unrelated to a CFI being responsable for the later incidents of
a pilot who has satisfied even the minimun requirement for a BFR.

There are several themes to this thread -- the OP was interested in
getting opinions re ways of satisfying BFRs. My point is that we as
pilots who are paying the CFI should demand we get value for that
money. If I spend 90 minutes aloft with a qualified CFI I want to
learn something other than just that I satisfy minimum BFR
requirements -- even if it's not part of the regs.

In flying as in life, it's a lot better to learn from other people's
mistakes.
