Does it really matter what the title of the approach is? We also flew the "Monitored Approach" technique on the BA and KT TriStar (for standardisation) and it worked very well. So, what's the "beef" about? It very much sounds like someone is having a pop at a technique that proved to work very well for BA... it was an Ops Manual requirement; a Company SOP. If you don't like it... challenge your management and do what's safe for your SOPs!
