I have to agree that the AOPA answer is confusing and I'm not ready to
take a position of this yet.

I am certainly confused and surprised that an SP glider pilot can get
SP airplane without a knowledge or flight test since, as a pvt glider
pilot, I had to take both the knowledge and flight test to get private
ASEL on my certificate. Similary as a commercial glider pilot I had to
take the knowledge test and flight tests to get my commercial ASEL
rating. When I had a glider instructor rating I had to take a flight
test to add airplane instructor.
