Post Instrument Training in an R22!!

Just about to try and get the "no instrument flying instruction" restriction removed from my licence (using R22) because students need to do 5 hours instrument appreciation for JAR PPL syllabus now. Seems a bit stupid to me to give student pilots this info, as we all know, a little knowledge is dangerous.
No doubt it'll be fun but is it a good thing or a bad thing. Encouraging flight if the weather / viz is not suitable? R22's not certified for anything other than VFR flight in UK anyway!

Shouldn't be up there in the first place etc etc. Your views?
