Ground school comes first at IFT https://www.baseops.net/militarypilot/usaf_ift.html

Note that a tree implies it is made of wood. If you find a stick of wood, odds are it came from a tree.

There is no singular "IFT"... you happened to find one IFT among hundreds across the U.S. that has such a syllabus, great... but it does not come first as requirement mandated either by law/regulation or convention. Here is the syllabus for a different FAA Part 61 and 141 approved IFT program that uses an integrated approach with the following quote:

"Each Module contains both a flight and ground lesson. This presents an integrated flight training process and will promote easier learning and a more efficient flight training program"

This is false, not all trees are made of wood (palm trees) and there are natural sources of wood that don't come from trees.

But of course... instead of just admitting you were wrong to make that logical fallacy... free to continue doubling down and making things up.
