That it is legal to fly VFR at FL335 in class A airspace. All you need is
a comm failure first.


The reference in AIM 6-4-1.c. that you quoted is to FAR 91.185, an
Instrument Flight Rule. The regulation says; "If the failure occurs in VFR
conditions, or if VFR conditions are encountered after the failure, each
pilot shall continue the flight under VFR and land as soon as practicable."
You can't just continue on VFR at FL 335. If you encounter a field where
it's practicable for you to land you must descend and land.
