It closes the loophole that has allowed a SEL PP fly an experimental
seaplane or twin, with no checkouts or controls. No longer, with a SP.

Just to clarify this, a PP with ANY category/class rating is still
permitted to fly ANY experimental aircraft SOLO with no signoff. In
order to carry a passenger the pilot requires the appropriate
category/class rating or endorsement. In other words, it is still
perfectly legal for a PP-ASEL to jump in a Rotorway exec and try to take
off with no training. It is also legal for me, who only holds a
Rotorcraft-Gyroplane rating to jump in an RV8 and (try to) fly it away.
Legal, not smart.
