It is pretty clear that he doesn't want to know the correct answer.
Yes, it is sad that he's a CFI and propogating these OWTs to his
students. It is even scarier than the system let him get to the ATP
level with this erroneous thinking.

Getting your ATP only requires a few things:

1) Logging 1500 PIC hours. Anybody with enough time, money, and tenacity
can do that.

2) Passing a written test. Same comment as above.

3) Passing a flight test. This is a little harder, because it actually
requires some skill as a pilot, but I've known some very scary pilots who
have ATPs, so I gotta asuume it's not that tough.

I'm not impressed by people with ATPs, since having a clue is neither a
necessary nor sufficient condition for getting one.
