I agree. Worrying about a fraction of a degree of difference between ILS antenna and visual vasi or papi is like admitting you are an automation or visual guidance dependent pilot. All pilots worth anything should be able to judge a 3 degree glide slope with nothing at night just by looking at the angle to the runway out the window. Yes some runways have an upslope or downslope but you already know that if you did any homework.
