If you have the vis before you get to the faf then you can shoot the approach. if the vis drops after you pass the faf you can continue the approach, if the vis continues to drop but you have the runway environment (approach lights, reils, threshold, etc, etc,) you can land. rvr, ceilings, vis, mean nothing once you pass the faf. from there on out you are going to go have a look no matter what happens to the vis. and even if you got down there and the rvr was reporting 600, but you could see the runway environment you can land. and your last sentence was uncalled for.
Ok thanks for the unecessary IFR lesson that which we are all aware of. Don't play Monday morning quarterback either. We'd all like to think we'd go missed at the appropriate time but you just can't say now can you?
