Are you always solely on instruments, or is there any reason to be
on instruments at all, with a visibility of 4.5 miles?


If you're in IMC, you need to be on instruments. At 4.5 miles, you're only
60-90 seconds away from not being able to see anything. Are you ready for
that?


If you are in class G at 10,001 feet and the visibilty is 4.5 miles,
you are in IMC.

If you drop down to 9,999 feet with the same visibilty, you are in VMC.

If you are 2001 feet horizontally from a cloud, you only about 0.3
seconds away from not being able to see anything. Are you ready for
that?

Have you a clue yet how ridiculous your absolute statements are?
