You would simply go up to this pilot's passenger -- his wife, mind
you --
and *tell her* that she was in grave danger flying with her dunderhead
of
a
husband?

No, of course not. I would just describe, in the abstract, the illegality
and grave danger (even to highly experienced pilots) of flying VFR into
IMC,
and of flying in or near thunderstorms. She can then draw her own
conclusions about her spouse.

And by the way, abstractly describing the danger sounds pretty much like
what you did, according to your follow-up post. So I don't think we're in
disagreement here.
