Are you reading the same thread as everyone else here? Where did you come up
with this crap?


Eh? What he said is _exactly_ what the thread was about. I.e.
letting the instructor's misinformation slide just long enough to get
the license more easily, and then perhaps arguing the point later.

Is it the right thing to do? No. Does everyone have to do it?
Probably, unless you had one amazingly knowledgable CFI.

I suspect most people here have some story about a fact they knew was
true, but their instructor didn't believe it right away. Whether you
should change instructors or not depends on how dangerous or obvious
the error is, and whether he's willing to accept evidence to the
contrary. Inexperienced CFIs aren't going to know everything, but
they should know they don't.
