it's time that particular danger was put to bed by proper instruction
Instruction is a good thing, and is the only solution to difficulties that are unavoidable, such as gravity, sudden and/or unpredicted changes in weather, and the abrupt disappearance of all known visual references when flying genuinely visually.
This particular danger of carb icing otoh could have been done away with by the proper application of technology - no need to add another complication to recreational pilots. Only the stupidest of administrations allow new aircraft types in the air that are so very much prone to this very real danger. There's plenty of alternatives available, injection best of all and the superbest in this respect is a diesel; but even if a carb is chosen, for reasons of economy likely, it can be mounted in a clever way like on a Rotax. I'll allow icing isn't absolutely impossible on Rotax carbs but the risk is far far smaller.
EASA could make itself a lot more useful by disallowing the old brigade of carburetted Lycosaurs, but that wouldn't be politically correct i suppose.
