I generally agree with your comment but am a little confused by your post. I may be misreading but are you advocating VFR on top in a SEP is okay, or was that one of the events that occurred due to unforeseen circumstances?
Okay, icing is not really an issue VFR on top, but other system failures could be, and you still have to descend through the cloud.
Apologies in advance if I misunderstood.

That has been my thought throughout this thread.
I am concerned that so many advocate deliberate violation of the rules. It does make you wonder about the airmanship of some licence holders.
