Tripoli does not cover the mix and cast process, only the knowledge needed to launch safely. L2 is an easy entry point to show the person understands the regulations and flight safety, and can use electronics for deployment. It's not an excessive barrier to someone wishing to launch L1 research motors. It's also for the safety of everyone else at the launch to know that the Research motor flyer has that extra level of knowledge and dedication.I expanded my post that you quoted to clarify my thought. L2 certainly demonstrates a higher level of understanding of rocket construction and higher thrust motors, but it doesn't address some knowledge needed to safely mix and cast your own motors.
