I’ll flip the question around Neville and throw it back...

FO can clearly see the runway but captain cannot and wants to go around. Do you continue to land or do you go around?

If you go around, why? Is it because it’s your the captain and you are making that decision just because you are boss, or because you aren’t happy that both guys have the same picture and are not on the “same page” any more?

I acknowledge that every situation is different- if you can see them from miles out and the FO is struggling, there might be time to give them the chance. If you are at a few hundred ft in horrendous weather, missed might be the safest option.
The Garuda Capt that overran probably thought he was in the right and being captain probably decided that “no, I’ve got this” despite the FO calling a go around. Do you agree with this situation because, whilst maybe not your intent, this is how many seem to perceive your statement.
