No, but you can bet there will be many who will opine that, had there been two pilots on board, they would have been less likely to overlook a step-down MDA limit...
Not that I agree with them.
'Done it many times before' (sic) appears in the report. Perhaps there lies the rub: if we do it lots of times, even if it's wrong, and get away with it, then we might do it at a time when it's critical that we do the right thing (as in this case). The hill has always been there. How many people have come close to it in IMC without realising??
