I do agree that you can go do steep turns at Va+30kts and not do any damage....just realize that you will no longer necessarily stall before you hit the aircraft's G-limit (like when your student loses altitude and decides to haul back on the yolk).

And even if he hauls back hard there is no structural problem until you get to 3.8 g's in a normal catagory airplane, or 4.4 g's if the airplane is loaded to still be in utility catagory. That would be very hard to do no matter how bad a pilot's steep turns might become.
