and this altitude needs to be corrected for cold temperature.
This applies to any type of approach.
I argued in a similar way with my flight ops team several years ago.

Apparently the real DA is correct at the minimum temperature published. The real DA will be higher during warmer temperature operations - hence still safe.
The only downside is there may be less success in summer.
