No no no no no.

PIC is ALWAYS ultimately responsible for terrain clearance, EVEN under radar vectors.

You smack it into high ground while under vectors and see if your wife gets any life insurance back once the 'pilot error' lawyers have finished!

Not to say the ATCO wouldn't get a bit of debrief as well, mind.
