I went and checked the regs. It's not explicitly stated, a signature verifies the authenticity of a statement, and so the administrator would reasonably expect the statement to be true at the time of signing.

It's made me very nervous, because I wouldn't want a CFI to be found guilty of violating § 61.59- remember it doesn't single out the owner of the logbook, it says "no person".

§ 61.189 Flight instructor records.

(a) A flight instructor must sign the logbook of each person to whom that instructor has given flight training or ground training.
(b) A flight instructor must maintain a record in a logbook or a separate document that contains the following:
(1) The name of each person whose logbook or student pilot certificate that instructor has endorsed for solo flight privileges, and the date of the endorsement; and
(2) The name of each person that instructor has endorsed for a knowledge test or practical test, and the record shall also indicate the kind of test, the date, and the results.
(c) Each flight instructor must retain the records required by this section for at least 3 years.
