IFR Flight Twice as Deadly as VFR?

wrote in : On a recent flight I took the ceiling was about 4500' and there was ice in the clouds, but the MEA was about 5000' due to some hills which were easily avoidable VFR. If I had filed I would have been forced into icing conditions instead of enjoying a safe VFR flight at 3500'. That must have put within 500' of the surface terrain at some point.
