fly911 - that's not what I said.

Synthetic vision can be an aid - although it can encourage pilots to push further in poor weather, a bit like NVG.

But, if pilots are screwing up IIMC because their basic instrument skills are rusty or non-existent, then having synthetic vision won't improve things because you still have to believe your instrument display and do basic things like selecting and holding an attitude.

When you are fighting what your inner ear is telling you compared to what your instruments are telling you, all the SA in the world doesn't replace basic instrument scan skills.
