In preparing for the CFI I was surprised to learn that many CFIs have
never done a spin. I wondered how this could be, until I carefully
reviewed the Section 61.105-107

There's no *requirement* to actually spin

Sure there is: 61.817b1xi (Flight Proficiency) requires a CFI
applicant to receive and log ground and flight training in a number of
specific areas, including spins.

To say that you can satisfy the flight-training requirement for spins
without actually ever spinning is like saying you can satisfy the
flight-training requirement for stalls without actually ever stalling.
