Tuning the ILS13L can help but it will bring lots of other problems before you hit short finals on the slot.
Before getting into the slot on short finals you would get all kinds of ILS deviation warnings or glideslope warnings which will be a great distaction. Besides, some airlines require long explanations for ignoring GPWS glideslope warnings. And if you have a very anal aussie pm( pilot monitoring ), he would insist you go around at the first hint of glideslope warnings...
