The problem with runway state reports on the ATIS is that they are usually there after a runway inspection. By the time the inspector has reached the end of the runway and reported wet x 3 for example, the downpour could have increased in intensity. In the example this could then make the runway 'Contaminated' or 'Slippery'. It is difficult to know how an exact runway state could be given for each landing and be completely accurate.
