It has nothing to do with navigation. Above the clouds and using GPS does not equal instrument time.
Actual instrument conditions does not equal IFR weather, but IFR CONDITIONS..i.e. you in the soup

reference the Moonless night Letter from the FAA

"According to the Moonless Night Letter, “‘simulated’ instrument conditions occur when the pilot’s vision outside of the aircraft is intentionally restricted, such as by a hood or goggles.” “Actual” instrument flight conditions exist “when some outside conditions make it necessary for the pilot to use the aircraft instruments in order to maintain adequate control over the aircraft. Typically, these conditions involve adverse weather conditions.”"
