No, because you said any evaluator that gives them should not be evaluators, thus you are encouraging they disregard the Vol 2. 
 
  
That does seem to tie your hands a bit, however it appears to be an AETC attempt to remove some decision making from the EPs.  Maybe because AETC does not know how to handle the outcome of a Q2?  Come back operational and purge the AETC bong water from your system, their rules exist for a purpose and they do not translate well operationally. 
 
  
I think that is the key distinction (AETC can always afford the training). Q2 means training, Q3 means training, another pre-check and another check ride.  Imagine the difference between a Q2 OME and a Q3, maybe one ride versus 3 locals, and 2-3 trips...  That's an expensive distinction. 
 
  
Must be nice to be in a community with no mistakes and where all your friends are still alive, that must make you correct.
