Thank you flare, for your kind response. (Point on cloud clearance taken).
Can you see the ground and can you get to the runway? Isn't that the point at hand here?
Why not make all NON PRECISION approaches to(circling or straight in or modified straight in) 1000 feet and 3 miles visibility. (or more in special situations).
Sorry, that's going backwards and ignores fifty years of great advances in both avionics and equipment. (And for that matter, regulation and the increase in radar coverage throughout the CONUS).
