You are correct. There is no end to what some flight instructors will
dream
up or invent. Everything the FAA does in the world of charting is
predicated
on IAS.


Not quite everything. The approach timing table uses ground speed.


More correctly, the Jeppesen timing table states ground speed. NACO does
not.


Whether they state it or not, there's nothing but ground speed that they
*could* be using to calculate the time to traverse the stated distance.
