On another thread, we have been discussing why checkrides need to be given by a DPE, rather than a CFI. This illustrates the answer - a DPE is trained in the minutiae of the FARs. Not necessarily true of CFIs.

It is conveniently buried in the student pilot sub part of the regulations, and easily missed if not read in their entirety.
I should note that it was an other instructor DPE on this site that pointed me in the right direction on this endorsement. We can all learn something new from time to time.

True.

I recently learned that student pilots can now log solo time.

I think what you mean is that student pilots can log their solo time as PIC.
