I don't see how you can possibly derive that interpretation from the question and answer posted. The FSDO that posed the question explicitly asked about using a "junior" instructor and there was nothing offered to say that it was permissible in any circumstances. Had your training scenario been legitimate, it would reasonably have been mentioned in the answer. It wasn't. I cannot see how they could have made their position more clear.

What is to stop them from getting instruction from a "junior" CFI for X amount of hours, followed by ultimately getting ANY amount of ground instruction by a 2 year CFI and receiving the endorsement from the 2 year CFI?

Because it's a scam with the purpose of circumventing the intent of the regulation. Of what significance would this regulation be if junior instructors provided 20 hours of instruction, and a "Senior" instructor provided .5 hours and signed the candidate off for the checkride?

there isn't a minimum amount of ground hours required.

Or flight hours. But the answer to the question was phrased "the training resulting in the required endorsements", and didn't say "required training". If a guy gets 20 hours of instruction, then this was the instruction that resulted in the endorsement, or otherwise, the instruction would not have been given. QED.
There may be well FSDO's that don't care if this goes on. Personally, I'm not sure that a 24-month CFI is necessarily any more qualified to do the training than a 1-month CFI. Maybe less so.
Does your FSDO know and approve of this practice?
