Nothing wrong with VFR flying at all, its great fun for bimbling. And for the VFR only pilot the views expressed here are fine.
The reason several of us were anti the views expressed by DFC is that if you happen to have a skill, and can use it, then use it.
Making a precautionary landing if you don't need to in my opinion is far more of a risk, and opens a whole new can of worms. You may cock it up and break your plane, you may injure people, you may damage property, you may p*ss people off (i.e. the land owner).......You may make a fine landing, wait until good weather and then kill yourself on take off.
If you DON'T have to land, then don't. If you DO then DO, and don't worry about the consequences. A current IRd pilot SHOULDN'T have to land in a situation like this. If they do then I suppose their instrument training is questionable, at best.
