What logic would trigger a GPWS warning when the aircraft is in a landing configuration, and the aircraft position makes sense in relation to the runway and any surrounding obstacles? If you're barrelling along on final approach with the gear down and at the right speed and descent rate, but not being able to see where you're going, I bet you can splatter it on the runway, or just short of it, or just past it, without the GPWS logic being triggered.
