Rananim. In the immortal words of "Yes Minister" Congratulations on a very courageous statement indeed.

Captains discretion has probably killed more people than going around from an unstable approach. The dirty dart at the deck is preceded usually by "I can make this, let's give it a go". A recipe for potential disaster, unfortunately. That is why stable approach criteria are designed - to stop the cowboys.
