Considering that IMC is visibility less than three miles, I suppose
you are correct.


IMC is anything less than what is required for VFR flight. In Class E
airspace at 10,000 MSL or higher with less than five statute miles
visibility you're in IMC. In Class E airspace at 10,000 MSL or higher with
a cloud deck less than 1000' above or below you you're in IMC even if
visibility is unlimited.
