No it isn't but that rule is not, and cannot, be enforced. If it was
some very well known pilots would lose their standing.

I'm not talking about being 950ft below when the regulations require
1000ft below (substitute 450/500 for East coasters) but deliberate
entering of a cloud layer for competitive advantage.
