Descending through a thin icing layer

You use "would" in both sentences. That denotes supposition. Are you
unsure about what you are saying?

Your condition is EXACTLY the same as that of a VFR pilot who relied
on a forecast of clear skies over his destination, went over the top,
had the forecast go bust, and is now trapped above a solid layer. The
only difference is that he's more likely to come out of this unscathed
than you.

I would think a well trained IFR pilot could descend through 2,000 feet of
below freezing visible moisture far more safely than a VFR pilot through
non-freezing visble moisture.

I would think in most case, the descent would just pick up a little light
ice and not affect the flight much at all.
