I´m sure many an imcompetent pilot has been called upon to capture a G/S from above as well. You´re missing the point, it's not good practice to capture from above, because of false glideslope capture risks. Not everyone is such a SkyGod™ as yourself and feel more comfortable doing it the old fashioned way i.e. G/S capture from below. (especially IMC, not IFR as you say sir, can you not fly Instrument Flight Rules in VMC?
)
I think if you handflew an approach in IMC with a glidecapture from above then subsequently mess it up, it wouldn't be looked upon too kindly...
