Correct, provided that an instrument letdown is necessary (ie, you're in
IMC).


What about a contact approach? One could even argue that a visual
approach can be flown in IMC since VFR cloud clearance requirements do not
apply.

Good point.

No, bad point. Steven knows that neither a visual approach nor a contact
approach is legal in IMC. He's just being deliberately obfuscatory, as
usual.
