I don't have a problem with it and I came from a community where a pilot who gets out at their chance might not have reached 1,500 TT. As far as training, there is a large difference in what a civilian trained pilot has done in their 300 hours let's say than what a military trained pilot has done in that same amount of time. I agree with those who tout the quality of time over quality, BUT numbers and minimums have to be set somewhere. For those that don't like 1,500, they may suggest 1,000 TT, but many would argue that too.
