I'm sure that is not the intent. Mr Lynch seems a sensible chap and I think what Mr Lynch is saying is that "ok, you can shoot an approach, and so long as it is in Actual IMC and the approach is completed properly, under IFR, using instruments to at least the MAP then that is ok".
Otherwise it would be silly, un-realistic, and unworkable - the sort of thing they would employ in JAR Land....
