Do I have to file?

I did NOT say that. I specifically said the opposite.
It was someone else's point that "You need a clearance, to get
a clearance you have to file." I said filing a flight plan is
an explicit requirement, not just a prerequisite to getting
a clearance.


Saying that a flight plan is an explicit requirement and not JUST a
prerequisite to getting a clearance is saying that it is a prerequisite for
the clearance.
