An interesting attitude to the instrument appreciation - it might save your life and is there because disorientation and inadvertant IMC are real problems at night. I guess from your post 206 that you didn't actually go IMC on your training or you might have a different view.
So you'd really advocate a private pilot flying into IMC to see what it's really like? Personally, I beleive that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing: you either learn how to fly in cloud properly or you don't do it at all. I think the '10hours' could give some pilots (at the risk of being flamed, let's say...lottery winners and football players) the idea that they've 'learned to fly in cloud'.
For the avoidance of doubt, I spent hours under foggles (learning turns on the AH, maintaining height with VSI/altimeter: and cloud breaks), but in VMC with my instructor maintaining proper lookout. And the occaisional foray into cloud. And I learned that I never want to go back there deliberately.
