It is still "see and avoid". The controller is just another set of
eyes.

Which, in Class D airspace, is much like using a set of rubber crutches.

Worse than useless.

IMHO, of course.

My experience tells me that in many cases the controllers in Class D towers
have only radio contact with the traffic they are trying to "control."
They have no visual contact yet attempt to sequence landing traffic. Pretty
scary. I avoid Class D at all costs.
