I do not agree, Tree, and the ones I have seen always finish up with a flatter landing path. I am referring to Cat I approaches here, and I was under the impression that 'ducking under' was related to diving below GP early to try and get visual which is 'verboten' as you say, but is it not effectively what flying '1 dot' low' does? What I am describing is adjusting the visual aiming point once visual, if that is the intent. Flying below GS in IMC is fraught with more danger.
