Default I give up, after many, many years!

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.


No, they aren't, they re trained to ignore their inner ear., period.
