Your point that seat of the pants pressure sensations are used during
instrument flight does not disprove MX's point about the necessity of
relying primarily on your instruments for accurate information in IMC.

Actually my point does!

The fly by the seat of my pants did not feel like I had a 20 to 30
degree pitch up which my horizon indicator showed (which was
waaaaaaaaay more then Vx pitch).

Again, you're arguing about a different topic -- flight in IMC without a
vacuum system. This is often classified as an "emergency", and you must use
everything you can to get out of it -- including your "seat of the pants".

In normal instrument flight, pilots are trained to ignore what their body is
telling them. The fact that you were able to use your body's sensations to
escape from a very serious instrument failure is a tribute to your piloting
skills. You may also wish to purchase a lottery ticket, because not all
vacuum failures end so well.
