"HOW" a pilot determines the flight visibility is only tangentially related. However, the "HOW" is mostly irrelevant, because the FAA cares not HOW you determine it. If you count it in furlongs, parsecs, or statute miles, it does not matter.
The regulation simply states you must not have less than the charted visibility.
It is a binary. 0/1. You either have it, or you don't.
However, you are deflecting from the scope of your original claim - you claimed one did not have to determine it, or, that seeing runway environment items automatically suffices as "flight visibility."
It matters not the "how."
What matters is - it is REQUIRED.
End of discussion John.

Sorry but I get what JBs saying. Anytime you take it to the pavement, less autoland/hud, even after the gear makes contact, an unreported obscuration like patches or fog bank can and has caused runway excursions onto unpaved surfaces. Buyer beware faf to runway exit.

Given this poster's inability to provide an intelligent, coherent response, or contribute to the discussion, and his inability to post without resorting to junior-high level name-calling, (s)he can safely be dismissed as unworthy of further discourse.
