I remember getting the leans for the first time on my CPL course.
In the middle of a climb in IMC the instructor says to me "Have you ever had the leans before?"
I relplied "Funny you should mention that as I'm getting them right now!" "Thought so." he said with a wry smile as he could see me wrestling with my inner ear Vs the instruments, it is indeed very tough to trust the instruements rather than your own senses.
Having been flying with the G1000 quite a bit recently I would be very surprised to hear of a pilot with an IR or IMC losing control given how good the system is for SA. You also have a traditional backup AI, ASI and ALT to cross check against even if your doubting what the glass is telling you.
If I was flying Enroute in the clag with a G1000 I'd be sitting back monitoring the automatics which is where that set up really comes into its own.
As MJ says however, still nothing stopping you punching the automatics out, disbelieving the whole lot and trying to hand fly your senses......
