I think somehow, that if you try to take control of an aeroplane at minima or at a height below say 200ft agl; you are asking for a load of very dangerous trouble.

But there are other ways to salve the almost insatiable desire of some Fos to intrude into areas that are especially grey and which should be left that way.

The scenario goes like this. Captain flying:

FO: Minima, nothing seen.
CPT: What was that.
FO. Minima, nothing seen.
CPT. Going around.......

That's your fifty foot and dignity all around.

I remember the peace and tranquillity which prevailed at London City. Fos were neither allowed to land nor to take off, such a load off their minds.
