I think you're just having fun being difficult. ATC will
assign what is easiest for ATC. Any pilot can refuse any
clearance. A simple UNABLE is the end of ATCs option to
continue to issue that clearance. Any PIC should have the
sense to offer an option of what he wants to do, what he is
able to do.

It could be equipment, weather, operating limitations, but
saying UNABLE is clearly understood. No further reason or
explanation is required.
