I don't know about the "perfect sense" part, after all, he says "lying VFR", and that made me think he might be controller meat--prejudiced against all us VFR-squawking secondary returns (i.e., not keepers at all) that have told ourselves we
should listen to 'em, even if we don't want to
talk to 'em, just in case we should have be forced by the moments of sheer terror to have to talk to 'em, while otherwise putterin' along enjoying the 3-D beauty of nature or getting somewhere quickly--or slowly.
Just kidding... I know it was probably his f'n key that was all worn out and doesn't work anymore.

Oops! That’s what I get for not reading back over my post very carefully. Yes, I did indeed mean ‘flying vfr”!
I am not all prejudiced against VFR-squawking sources of secondary returns. Although I thought if you were squawking anything, have and using a transponder, that you would not be a secondary return.
Thanks for doing the dirty work of editing that I failed to do!
