QNIM et al,
At the risk of encouraging rational debate rather than mindless mud slinging, assuming the L Mc now toes the line and only drops in VMC, how do you percieve this will make things safer for you? Are you intending to see-and-avoid free-falling skydivers moving vertically at around 120Kts? I am not condoning deliberate rule breaking, but It would be foolishly simplistic to assume Legal=Safe, Illegal=Dangerous.
Neither equation is necessarily true.
