We like to anticipate a worst case scenario; creating numerous unnecessary distractions might however turn into a worst case scenario.
I see your point but in my opinion distractions are very dangerous in this critical phase of flight. Also, our approach speeds simply do not allow us to make any mistakes. I've been at 4 airlines and none of them taught the 'backup approach" method.
