It was a joke.

However you have just checked your licence and realised the SEP rating validity expired a few days ago at the end of the last month. Can you get an instructor to sign the revalidation form by experience a few days after the expiry date or do you need him to backdate it to when the rating was still valid?

I am referring to the totally legal way of doing real flying, correctly logged, and doing the biennial training flight(s) with an instructor and signed by that instructor.
Why wait to the last month of the biennial cycle to satisfy all the requirements, risking being unable to do it all either due to unexpected health issue or AME unavailability or aircraft serviceability or aircraft unavailability (heavily booked) or airfield closure due to waterlogging etc, or unavailability of a FE or FI with FCL945 to do the reval paperwork, or the ultimate of unpredictable events, a pandemic!
