Granted that humans are known to do a better job when "in the loop" than when monitoring another human, or monitoring the automation...

But when capturing the glideslope, whether from below or above, shouldn't ONE pair of eyes observe and confirm actual capture (track, power, airspeed)? To me it's as elementary as confirming flaps or gear.
