Default Get-Home-Itis, Arrogance, or What?

In a previous article, "Gary Drescher" said:
I disagree. The PP instrument training really should suffice to keep you
upright in clouds for long enough to reach VMC if there's any within range.


If you were in VMC and entered a cloud, it's supposed to be sufficient
training that you can make a gentle 180 back to VMC. But this idiot
launched into IMC. That's significantly different.
