Lowtimer's analysis of the leaflet is very good - this is one of the worst documents (or at least the worst paragraph of a document) I've ever seen come out of the CAA. I'm not saying it's wrong, without seeing the underlying numbers I don't know (although I know where my suspicions would lie).
One point Lowtimer misses is that it says that the IMC rating is useful for getting out of trouble. It then goes on to say that currency is vital. But it makes no suggestion as to how an IMC-rated pilot is to stay current enough to be able to get out of trouble safely if he is not to intentionally fly in IMC.
(I would add quotes, but although my browser let me read the document earlier today, it crashes when I try to read it again now!)
