Mx posts something and then a certain contingent tries their best to find
some flaw, however minor, to argue endlessly over. Occasionally Mx is
right
and the contingent is wrong, but that doesn't stop them from embarrasing
themselves for weeks on end as the arguement goes from nit picking to
semantics to the sublimely ridiculous. The amazing thing is that it
occurs
with almost every one of his posts.


Let me help you here - Mx meant that you must fly on instruments when you
have no reliable outside visual references.


I'm no Mx fan - far from it. But sometimes you guys are your own worst
enemy.


And you know what he meant is correct while what he actually said was
wrong how?

Let me help you here - Mx has no grasp of nuance, subtlety, or shades
of grey and everything is black and white, ergo if you are in instrument
conditions, you must be on instruments.


Well, why not, that's right! If you are in "instrument conditions" you
must be on instruments. Now on the other hand, if you were in IMC per the
AIM definition, that would be another situation. You have to consider the
"nuance, subtlety, or shades of grey"


You do understand what the 'I' and 'C' in IMC stand for, don't you?
