Sure, but I think the point here (definitely a "don't try this at home" but an interesting theoretical point) is that if upon reaching MDA, still in IMC, you cancel IFR (very quickly!) then you would still be legal. It wouldn't be legal if the Class E floor is 700 AGL, as I believe it was in the scenario provided here. The FARs still apply in Class G airspace, including the one on minimum IFR altitudes. Ya gotta be at least 1000 feet above the highest obstacle within 4 miles, and ya can't do that where controlled airspace begins at 700 feet above the ground.
