You are going to be a CFI. What does the reg say?

But consider this situation- you need 15hr dual for the IFR rating. Say you go do a 1hr instrument lesson, and the student changes it to 15 hours. Is that still ok?

Ok for who? The CFI? How can the CFI control what the student does once the logbook is out of their hands?!?
If you're asking if it is OK that the CFI continue on their instruction with the assumption that the student now has completed the 15 hours of xcty I would say no, if there is reasonable expectation that the CFI knows the student did not complete that flight then he would be held partially accountable (just a guess). That's common sense.
If the student goes to another CFI however and there is no reasonable expectation that said CFI knew the student falsified the records, there would be no way in my mind it would come back on either CFI.

My point is that yes, the sig may only be required to state that SOME instruction was given, but unless the numbers are right, the signature is meaningless. The CFI may as well not sign. How would one determine if a student got 1 minute of instruction, or 1 hour.

Refer to my A/B multiple guess test I posted. Again I ask, what does the reg say? Does it say we are required to sign? When are we required to sign?
"How would one determine if a student got 1 minute of instruction, or 1 hour?"
By either the student or the instructor entering time in the "instruction received" column of the students logbook silly

I'm not a CFI (or even a CPL yet), but I have to disagree with your interpretation of the law.

That's fine. If you want to be held accountable for whatever your student writes in THEIR logbook have at it. Personally I think a good lawyer could blow that one out of the water. "Is that your handwriting?" "No sir it is not".
Stop over thinking this.
