It's easy to blame the instructor in this, but where is the personal

Yes that nicely illustrates the SYSTEMIC problem when people are
indoctrinated to believe that there is a chain of responsibility with
competent people above them, instead of being told from the beginning
that when they are pilot in command the buck stops with you.
The other systemic problem is the continued existence of instructors
like that and despite the formal existence of the instructor
panel/RTO/CTO/GFA Board the lack of actual supervision and
responsibility of those people.
