That's what I'm thinking. Some ground controller (being trained in the
tower, like Chino) is going to come right back and get in your face.


There may very well be facility directives that require controllers to
obtain readbacks of certain parts of an IFR clearance or instruction. But
the question posed at the beginning of this thread was very general, and
there simply is no general requirement to read anything back.
