I don't think you're understanding my point.

The actual thrust available on a given plane is not relevant to the calculation of VMC.

What matters is the thrust levels which were defined for certification - which can indeed be a function of altitude (and temperature too) - but those may be either above OR BELOW the thrust you have on any given day, on any given aircraft.
