Well, if you consider other aircraft to be obstacles, maybe.

Yes, I do. How hard would it have been for you figure that out, seeing how
just before the statement you quoted, I also wrote:

"...everything to do with avoiding obstacles (terrain, buildings, other
aircraft, etc.)."

But as I see it the visibility and cloud clearance requirements are
designed for the purpose of giving aircraft time to see and avoid.
Something pops out of a cloud, it takes some time to see it, recognize it,
and avoid it.

How is that incompatible with what I wrote? Especially when you take into
account the part of my post you obviously didn't read the first time?
