I never said it could replace it but I'm saying the scope of screaming safety for a 1500 hr rule is slightly exaggerated for most cases of individuals. The airline and FAA easily understand what a pilot is capable of when they do airline training when a person has 1000+ quality hours after 2 years of instructing 135 etc... if it doesn't cut it then chances are 1500 definitely might not either.
