I generally agree with your position on accelerated IR programs, but can
you
point me to any specific NTSB reports mentioning them?

I don't think they name school's or methods of achieving ratings in NTSB
reports, but during one of those local FSDO seminars, there was an accident
investigator type who specifically mentioned a few "IR jocks in two weeks"
accidents. If you'll invest in an evening of searching through
http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/query.asp , you'll find quite a list of accidents
that scream of such training. I remember the tricks I've done right after
gettin' mine, including landing at KMSV at 0x0 from ILS 15, it wasn't IMC,
but totally black night onto an unlit runway, so I (like everyone) have a
few of my own stupid pilot tricks that could've been attributed to lack of
discipline and proper training.
