So let me get this right - you are saying it would be good to use the qualification just incase one went IIMC?
So, one inadvertently enters cloud and then decides - hmmmm, I can practice flying in this now I'm here because I am legal? Fascinating....

Get to where one is going and then orbit until the rules change again allowing an EIR pilot to shoot an approach to recover?
