Compressor Stall and Megan fancy themselves as lawyers. Their VMC argument is similar to something a lawyer might put forward to get someone off a drink-drive charge.
Ampan, lame as that reply is, it's one of your more cogent analogies. Maybe Chippendale fancied himself as a lawyer too. He understood it. He stated that.

Whiteout conditions can exist within the normal VMC minima
and
...by remaining strictly VMC throughout the sightseeing part of the flight". It is emphasised that the absence of snow showers and visibility in excess of 20 km would not preclude the possibility of whiteout conditions occurring and affecting the crew's judgement of terrain clearance at any altitude.
.

It's been explained to you repeatedly over the last few years. The best rebuttal you have been able to come up with is that your home made VMC definition is "implicit". This accident obviously a painful thing for you to acknowledge. There are plenty of other failings to talk about; there's no proof that not being VMC is one of them.
