I will continue to operate to the official advice in my manual.
Very good, sir. It seems to me that current procedures (inflight restart, unreliable airspeed) are quite capable of coping with possible unfortunate effects of encountering nasty ice particles in large concentrations.

Incidentally, official lines may or may not bear resemblance to real world. Can you count changes of the manuals and procedures during your career, brought on by the demise of the unsuspecting?
