So true. The problem is, when the pilot who did all his IR training avoiding clouds, who was probably taught by a CFII who had done all of his training and instructing also avoiding clouds, one day finds himself in a cloud by himself only to discover the experience is now a much higher level of seriousness than expected. If it turns out the accident pilot found himself in a cloud for the first time, and he was by himself, not-with-standing his thousands of hours of experience, he was under a lot of pressure in an unfamiliar environment backed into a corner with no other way out.
