That's the thing. Maybe not. Maybe the bloke flew in in marginal conditions and thought to himself: "Come on mate, that's nowhere near as bad as people say". You just cannot rule out that the pilot might have felt overly confident in his abilities, perhaps in part due to the fact that "nothing ever happened" to him in similar conditions.
I would have liked to read something like that in the report because that threat is an insidious one.
