I'm also betting you'd find yourself without insurance if there was
an incident.

And your basis for that statement?

Aviation insurance policies no longer deny coverage for violation of
FARs.

They do? You should tell my insurance carrier that. Certain violations of
the FARs DO invalidate my policy.

Besides, an insurance policy need not have a general provision about FAR
violations. It still would not be all that surprising to find a policy that
stipulates that the plane be flown within its airworthiness certificate
(including not being flown overweight). Nothing in the statement you're
attempting to rebut said anything whatsoever about the policy having a
general provision about FAR violations.

When you've read every single insurance policy in existence, then you might
feel free to make blanket generalizations like that. Until then, you might
want to consider refraining from suggesting people can feel free to fly
their aircraft overweight without worrying about being covered by their
policy. Also, in the meantime, you might make a better effort to actually
read statements you're trying to argue against.
