To resurrect a dead metaphor, from an aviation point of view, "flying blind" (VFR into IMC such as flying into a cloud when not flying on instruments) is a very dangerous situation that everyone is trained to avoid. If the weather is bad enough then you stay on the ground.

I agree, it's not a situation a sane person chooses to be in when given an alternative, but sometimes it's unavoidable, and I think that implication is part of the common context it's supposed to carry (but is easily lost when reading it literally).
