No, I didn't say YOU said that. I didn't quote you.

In any case, a vast majority of track people I know didn't participate in events run by instructor-led organizers and we all turned out alright. I've met and befriended a lot of people at the tracks and I personally don't know a single person who's had this type of incident.

Having said that, yeah, those organizers are taking risks; but the flip side is, having each and every novices get paired up with an instructor has its down sides too [some novices simply don't need and/or want instruction, requiring instructions and not having enough instructors for 1-to-1 ratio would force the drivers to wait a lot (a lot of downtime), some instructors are simply a waste of time, etc]. One novice driver to whom this type of incident happens to versus nine hundred and ninety nine other novices who progress on without incidents seems to be an acceptable ratio.
