I am a currently active kayak (inland) coach as well as being a lapsed A4
assessor and I seem to recall Jim being a L3 coach. I assume you are not
a
L3 coach from your comments here and elsewhere. If you are a L3 coach
then
you weren't assessed by anyone who was trained in modern assessment
techniques. Because a key criteria for passing L3 coach is having the
ability to recognise when you might be wrong, learn from others or at
least
consult with others to check out the validity of your approach.

As it happens, I am a coach.
