We've crossed swords in the past but I completely agree with your disdain at the comments you quote. These are authored by the very same folk who, one day, will find themselves in a similar situation to those who have perished at the receiving end of over-confidence/arrogance/over-inflated sense of own ability.
There are two issues: first, fixing the above. Second, helping pilots who already acknowledge they are not qualified to fly in cloud from getting into the above situation inadvertently. That's the bit Epiphany missed.
