Not at all captain.

I'm responding to aimpoint who appeared to be leaving a sarcastic comment, (hard to tell in text) indicating he wouldn't carry the alternate for the area forecast low vis during the day.

If the TAF indicates better than the area forecast, It only applies to the 5nm surrounding the aerodrome. There is still the potential of encountering the poor conditions at some point along the route, or at the destination if it does not have a met observation/forecast.
