What are you folks on about? You can't honestly tell me that you stare at the EADI for the entire duration of the flight. I think its fair to assume that you take your eyes away from the instrument panel in the cruise quite regularly to do tasks such as fuel logs, read the paper, read the company manual, eat food, etc.
So whats to say that while your not looking at the instruments and you are performing other tasks that the aircraft doesn't enter a UA while your in IMC. Then you would be recovering from the same situation that was simulated in the SIM. Heck, you could be the PM during climb out, look away to do a position report while the other guy is hand flying and by the time you get back to monitoring he/she may be in a UA.
Its an important skill to have - that is to identify a UA on instruments and then initiate the correct recovery.
