You can fly a PAR down to zero zero ie zero ft and zero viz and touch down and be perfect safe.
Go and get a auld fart ex RAF instructor to take you to do a few. After which I can garantee you will go for that option before the chute option.

I think also I said it depends on weighing up all circumstances, it might be a different choice at say Manston with little Cumulus Granite compared to say Aspen Colorado, it could depend on fatigue, currency, single pilot, who else on board, a whole load of factors, I am just saying i would consider it a viable option under certain hypothetical circumstances. Zero Zero for me would be one of them.
