Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: NAFI poll

I just voted in the pole, which asked the question, "Should training received from a sport-pilot instructor be applicable to other ratings and or certificates?" I have to say... I'm absolutely shocked by the number of "No" votes. I figured there'd be a couple, but the score was 71 - Yes to 50 - No.

I'm curious... What is the argument people are using to say the training provided by a sport pilot instructor should not count toward a PPL or beyond? Regardless of whether a Sport Pilot got his training from a CFI or a SPI... that Sport Pilot still had to fly to the exact same Practical Test Standards. Any comments?
