PT.. I don't think any ATCO would disagree. I've spent a good part of my life putting 6-8 miles between a/c for no good reason other than the fact that the cloud determined that I should. But.. ATC doesn't make the rules; they simply apply them.
Being older than God I've usually got an appropriate story so here's one.. When LVPs first came in I was the Tower controller at Heathrow one bright sunny summer day; visibility 93 million miles, etc. The automatic RVR indicator in the Tower suddenly gave a touchdown reading of about 50m.. we quickly rang the engineering people and they said as far as they could tell the instrumented RVR system was full serviceable.. As required by my instructions I therefore read the RVR to a Trident.. he asked me to confirm that it was a true reading and when I confirmed that the equipment was working OK he said he was bound to go-around.. and did. He knew it was lunacy - and said so; I knew it was lunacy - and said so.... but rules is rules!
At the other end of the scale within the last 12 months a pilot asked ATC NOT to read him the RVR on final approach if it dropped below his minima. I know who I'd rather fly with..
