Learn it right and do it right, stay current and proficient in identifying and handling instrument failures or stay VFR at all times (if that means not flying on iffy VFR days so be it).
If that seems a hard line try exiting a cloud with the wing coming off, because thats how "inadvertent" VMC into IMC very predictably ends - often very quickly after entering the cloud. Sadly plenty of accident reports to illustrate that reality.
I think what he meant was he wasnt going to start flying IFR because he cannot on his licence. It was more of a safety measure which in my mind is a great idea. Any extra training is good. Surely someone who has had at least some training stands a better chance of avoiding the "wing coming off" whilst exiting cloud after inadvertent entry into IMC.
