If you have more restrictive minima for SE IMC for safety reasons, then do you also refuse to fly SE at night (when you probably have even less time to see what you're about to hit before you hit it)?
I can see why it might be desirable to have more conservative minima, and some pilots apply the same conservatism to all flight.
But there are lots of pilots who insist on having cloudbase 1000' agl for a whole route (in which case it is rare that you'll be able to use your rating for a flight which you wouldn't have been able to do without the rating) but then quite happily fly SE at night. Or vice versa. Neither of which seems entirely logical.
