Default Making the safe decision (AKA "I hate AIRMET ZULU")

In a previous article, "Peter R." said:
What you wrote is certainly true. Given roughly the same location as Paul
(the OP of this thread) was about to cross, another pilot opted to scud run
a couple of years ago and ended up crashing into terrain, killing himself
and the majority of his family. A real tragedy.

And the pilot in question was on the same mailing list as me and we'd
corresponded many times. Maybe not a friend, but a good enough
acquantance that I was considerably saddened by his passing. My wife had
heard the story back when it happened, and mentioned it to me on Sunday
when decision time came along.

Very, very sad.

Another guy on the same mailing list lost his best friend and airplane
partner (and their airplane) when said friend decided to circle to land in
extremely low visibility.

You're nicer than I. I was thinking "Mark, would you recognize a clue
if one were gnawing on the end of your dick?"
