He's of the Forester school that only those highly-skilled, high-mileage, serious cyclists who are comfortable riding in traffic, are worth advocating for. But if you take a LAB approved course, you automagically become a worthy serious cyclist and are entitled to the full benefits of elite club membership and benefits.
