Agreed, if the plane can't spin then pedals are unnecessary. From www.ercoupe.org "Combined with a somewhat limited elevator up travel (on some models), a Coupe's tail can't be pushed down enough to stall or keep stalled the majority of the wing on any Coupe." Allow the up-elevator travel to exceed the safe limits and "all bets are off" just as they are over gross or aft CG. My point was simply that the CAA weenie had to develop some standard by which it could be ensured that the plane would in fact remain unstallable and unspinable. The penalty for an error is finding yourself in a spin with no hope of recovery.
