According to Richard Collins, the biggest harzard in IFR is the transition

One of several things I would disagree with RC about.

Well, he based his "opinion" on some rather lengthy and deep digging into
the NDSB records.



Also, fly as much IFR as you can; even in CAVU, it keeps you sharp and
provides some practice so that IMC is not such a SHOCK!

I suppose you should if IMC is a SHOCK to you.

However, your generality breaks down when applied to any number of
specific
instances when it is operationally preferable to operate under VFR.
