While those hours aren't the best, you still learn a ton. Especially if you have someone trying to kill you(student) in the left seat.

yeah....no. 1200 hours worth of flying a 172 vs. 200 hours worth is a difference. Maybe not the experience you want. But by flying 1200 hours even during day vfr i have seen more than if i had 200 hours time going straight into the right seat of a jet. Statements like this are just ignorant and not true.

While I learned a lot as a CFI after a while it just becomes routine and your skill level can actually deteriorate if you're not actually doing the flying...

"Skill level" becomes a lot less important than decision making, knowledge, and situational awareness at this level of flying.

You're correct and I think that is something that can only come with more than just a year at this level! Heck they'd just be off the one year probationary period!
