No, I want to weed out the lame instructors!!!

Then the real solution is to require that in order to instruct, you
have to make 10 solo takeoffs and landings in a tailwheel airplane.
BTW, I favor such a requirement. It's not a hardship to anyone who
has any business instructing.

Baloney.

By the time instructors met all the additional requirements that you want to
impose on them the cost of becoming an instructor would triple at the least.
They would be no safer nor would they be better pilots in any measurable
sense. The accident rate would not be improved.

Apparently you have some strange idea that good instruction consists of
developing a macho, anti-authority attitude just waiting to get you or
somebody else killed.

I am beginning to believe that you have no business whatsoever near an
airplane.
