I wish to contest the following...
One case of CFIT in 40 years
Surely, CFIT indicates a navigation or spatial-awareness error rather than a lack of skill to fly in IMC? I propose that there have been very few IMC holders that have lost control of their aircraft whilst flying IMC - I count 1 accident over the past 30 years excluding a couple of accidents involving pilots operating "illegally" on the continent. I propose that this illustrates the safety benefits better.
By the way, both you and Bose-X need to stop bickering as you're playing into the hands of the "jumbled message" brigade!
