Of course, I know nothing and am often reminded of that fact by my wife , daughter, and mom...

IMHO, this is the BEST answer out there that I've heard so far. Why? Because it doesn't require wrestling for control at low altitude, and puts the CA in a position where he MUST go around or risk having to explain the situation to the FAA. (Since you have reported over the radio "nothing in sight").
When we asked this question, we didn't just stop at minimums. Instead, we would count down while the question is asked... "minimums"... "minimums minus 50"... "minus 100".... "minus 150"
We did have one or two folks that just didn't say/do anything and presumably hit the runway.
