Legal vs. practical cloud cover for VFR
Remember that what is legal has nothing to do with keeping you safe.
The FAA could care less if you run yourself into a mountain. The purpose of VFR mins is to keep you away from the "real pilots" who are IFR and popping in and out of clouds, especially the airlines. The odd selection of VFR mins at different airspace was a negotiated thing with airlines way back. The airlines wanted to just get rid of VFR flying. So today we have regulations that basically say that the busier the airspace, the further you have to be from a cloud that could have a 737 popping out at any moment.
