VFR, it doesn't really matter, does it?

I've always thought that airspace boundaries are to be respected by VFR
traffic, too.

I agree that there are many reasons why I need to know my pressure
compensated altitude to avoid busting airspace or illegally flying to close
to person or property.

The discussion was about the life-saving necessity of an accurate altitude
instrument. MX was claiming that GPS is inaccurate enough to kill you. I
presume that that can only happen in one of two ways 1) I fly into the
ground believing my inaccurate intrument or 2) I fly at an altitude
different than the regulated VFR cruise altitudes and run into another
plane.

I think both are highly unlikely in VFR conditions no matter how inaccurate
the instrument.
