Therefore paradoxically, by getting an instrument rating you will find
yourself flying a lot more VFR than you had before :-)


Uh, ok. That's not the case for me, nor most of the pilots I know.


That may refer to the fact that most IFR flights are flown in VMC.
After a few minutes of climbing through IMC, you're in sunshine for
the rest of the flight. Considering that you'd be at home watching
television otherwise, you do more VFR flying.
