Three disagreements with what you said:
1) Whatever the statistics say, it is purely wild speculation that it was
pilot error in this case.
2) I strongly disagree that technological innovations will not help
reduce
pilot errors. Technology has made a huge difference.
3) Single pilot IFR is far from "as dangerous as it gets." Plenty of
flying activities are significantly more dangerous.

Wrong. He was instrumented rated and his airplane was instrument
equipped.
He was also a fairly accomplished aerobatic competitor and airshow
pilot.
There hasn't been nor will there ever be a technological solution to
pilot
error. Flying solo, in a complex airplane, in IFR conditions is about
as
dangerous as it gets.

Sounds like a case of a non-instrument rated pilot trying to find the
bottom
of the overcast. He did.
Cheers,

Thanks for a voice of reason.
