Number 2 certainly won't apply. No visual on runway environment, no
landing.

Lets suffice it to say we will have to agree to disagree. I really
think the two clearances do not intertwine and if you land without a
clearance, that's a no no in spite of you getting a clearance for the
approach. 7600 is not a clearance for landing.

Otherwise, on an instrument approach, you wouldn't have to hear those
magic words clear to land. The lights only replace the aural part
"cleared to land". JMHO.

Like I said earlier, in the real world, I would land and deal with any
paper work later.
