It could be that your DO and CP thought you should have continued to your destination without incident and used the type IV to take off again. This is a totally different question than flight in to light freezing drizzle or rain. Was your problem flying in to -fzdz because you might not be able to take off again? Or was it just flying in to the wx to land at the destination?
I think what he was saying was that the DO's only defense is that they have a Type IV Holdover Chart for -FZRA, so he's trying to claim that flying in -FZRA is ok. BeechBoy's whole point was that a holdover chart has nothing to do with whether a manufacturer says not to fly in certain conditions. Holdover tables aren't even aircraft specific, so if the DO is going to try using the tables for an argument, then he's going to hit a dead end.
