Now in my opinion, and I have no axe to grind and don't care about AOPA or the IMCR either way, they are focusing it the wrong way by trying to sell it as a safety issue (something which they cannot factually substantiate) when at the end of the day the only provable benefits are economic.
I have tried to make that very same point a number of times. The argument should be based on the loss or training and the opportunity to help pilots maintain currency and learn enhancing skills rather than what I feel is a very melodramatic tack.
