You can't imagine that there is any meaningful difference between hitting rising terrain terrain on final on a non-precision approach when visibility is limited by it being night and possibly by other meteorological conditions, and stalling into the (flat sea-level) ground, in broad daylight, on a beautiful clear day when there's not a cloud for 100 miles and nothing but a light breeze?

In your mind these accidents are essentially equivalent?
