Yes I know that. It is however corroborating evidence of what the vis was when they were cleared to land.

Look I am not defending what they did after passing minima. It clearly seems that the vis deteriorated and then they should have gone-around as you rightly point out. All I was trying to clarify in my original post is that if they did indeed have the required visual reference at MDA, which they claim they did and the investigation seems to accept, then they were not wrong to continue. IE they did not bust minima. If you do not agree with their decision at that point then fine but if perchance they were not lying then they were not breaking any rules.

Blaming the accident on busting minima stifles consideration of the real mistakes which came slightly later.
