It doesn't just "hurt" the argument, it destroys it.
Obviously if an -experimental- can be IFR,
then a Standards-Compliant aircraft definitely can be.

These are not just Ultralights, Abid.
And people don't need to spend $70k to $120k on an aircraft,
and be told, "better make sure they only fly on nice sunny days".
