All the time that I have EVER saved by eliminating or reducing delays
hasn't added up to the time I spent getting the instrument rating,
never mind staying current.

But that's not the point. Not all time is equally valuable. Sometimes
it's better to spend two hours now to save fifteen minutes later.

Instrument flying in light airplanes appeals to daredevil technogeeks,
and damn few others.

I don't think that's a fair or true statement.
