To bring it back on topic, basically Mr. McNicoll does not think the
requirements of the TSO pertaining to enroute IFR navigation adds to the
safety of the flight. One of the things I like about aviation is that most
everything in the regs (notice I stated MOST and not ALL) has a good
reason
behind it. As with regulations in general, a good part of the stipulations
will not apply to the majority of the situations. As a result, many folks
think they're "idiotic."

I see it simply as part of the attitude of "I've done it a hundred times
before so it's perfectly safe."


Do you see any hazard in the use of a handheld GPS during enroute IFR
flight?
