You stated:

"The LSA definition stands alone. Any aircraft that meets that deviation
can be flown by a SP who has the right signoffs."

That is not correct.

As I previously noted, a type-certified aircraft that would have met the LSA
specs in its original configuration, but has been modified to a point where
it would not meet those specs, would not be flyable as an LSA even if the
modifications were removed and the aircraft was rolled-back to it's original
specs.

And JFTR: the only point I was wrong on was the SP's ability to fly
Experimentals that met the LSA requirements but were not eLSA's, a mistake I
readily admitted when the error was pointed out to me.

Not true.

The Experimental "certification" process does not ensure that the
aircraft
meets the criteria for an LSA.

True, but neither does the standard airworthiness process
(ensure LSA status), and I can fly my standard airworthiness
aircraft with an SP. You really shouldn't post this
misinformation. The LSA definition stands alone. Any
aircraft that meets that deviation can be flown by a SP who
has the right signoffs.
