It could have also been that particular recruiter I talked with. I know people who have gotten on with airlines because 3 or 4 of them split a bulk 50 hour package of seminole time and double dipped with safety pilot or MEI time. They all got hired. I used safety pilot time when building for my commercial and instrument ratings.
