I thought the whole reason for a steep-as-reasonable descent profile during
a non-precision approach was so that if the airport/runway environment is

in
sight before the MAP, you can take advantage of it and land. If you are
forced to fly not a foot lower to the missed, then therefore you can not
take advantage of the early sighting of the airport. In other words, after
arriving at the MDA and you have the runway environment in sight AND you

see
you're about to enter the cloud bases again, then you therefore "must"

enter
the cloud bases because you're not at the MAP yet?


No, you may descend below the MDA upon sighting the runway environment.
