He needs to see the puppy mill guys in action...a lot of those from that path missed skills and never got them later....I think that is the real point of the colgan discussion and the 1500 hour rule.
I think the "both the Colgan pilots had more hours than the rule required at the time of the crash" is a ridiculous argument. The captain of that flight finished his commercial they went to a pay to play to sling gear before getting hired at a regional. How may full stalls do you think he encountered? Based on his reaction to the shaker and pusher in the Q, I'd say not many outside of a supervised environment. How many do you think a CFI sees? How many of those do you think turn into incipient spins? I know I let a few students push the airplane too far but I LEARNED from those experiences. That's something that pilots who go from commercial check ride to the right seat aren't getting.
