The stats say an instrument rated pilot is much more likely to take up
farming by scud running than a VFR only pilot.



If that were true the insurance people would stop giving discounts to
instrument rated pilots.

It is true, as per AOPA, and insurance companies don't blindly give
discounts just because you have the rating. Get the rating with 1000
hours, most in the same plane like a 182 that you own and there will be
no discount.
