And besides, I like the idea of flying in uncontrolled airspace
squawking VFR, at least the local controller can tell controlled a/c
"there's VFR traffic 4 miles at your 10 o'clock, we're not talking to
him." It's a little safety buffer, assuming you're close enough to be
picked up by their radar.

One time I was prohibited from entering Class C airspace when the
controller determined the error in the xponder's altitude reporting
was greater than the FAR's allowed.
