I don't qualify. Besides, I'll offer my opinion without prompting.

Nobody said anything about "rules," but I did in fact quote the
authoritative FAA Airplane Flying Handbook repeatedly, and you chose to
ignore all of that. Funny how that works out. Anytime anybody cites
something authoritative, you ignore it.

Misinterpretations of the book will not help you in the air.

Don't presume to talk to instrument-rated pilots about flying IMC.

Why not? Some of them have dangerous ideas.

Hell, you augured outside of Telluride in a freakin' flight simulator.
That's funny, 'cause I flew it in the same software and didn't have that
problem. It's easy; you're not even a competent Flight Simulator geek.

A simulator might be a better play to practice IFR, if you haven't
internalized the necessity of relying on instruments.

Bye, now. I'm going flying.

Avoid IMC.
