Absolutely correct, and precisely why I wrote:
But the truth is, even if a ppl could fly a wings level, speed stable climb after IIMC, they very, very likely couldn’t manage an approach to a suitable airfield. Even if their aircraft was equipped for it! That’s the sad fact!
Of course the same may also be true of many CPL(H)

So don’t go up. Don’t go down. Just accept that if you don’t have the recent skills, the qualifications, the equipment, the icing clearance, the divs, the plates or the fuel. The moment you enter cloud, you will quite likely die within 178 secs. It’s that important never to enter cloud. So as I said, if you ever find yourself flying along in marginal weather. Scud running. The moment you feel that knot in your stomach, just put the thing on the ground while you still can! Because very shortly thereafter, you may lose that option!
