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.


Agreed. I was speaking generally.

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.


That's also true for Class G airspace at night at more than 1,200 feet
above the surface and at or above 10,000 feet MSL.
