Gorn - "Who cares what happens half way down the approach?
Descent planning is about the start point and the end point."
There's the Garbage.
I have sat and watched 10,000hr+ captains lose situational awareness on RNAV approaches.
This occurs when the flying pilot has to read the "NM to NEXT WPT" versus the "ALTITUDE" Table.
Not only might there be, for example two distance/altidues at 3.0nm, he or she might have to read the sequence from right to left or vice versa.
I think the presentation is illogical in the extreme. We must change it or have another CFIT accident.
Have another read of Capt Bloggs post - you might learn something.
