Seeing the ground doesn't necessarily mean you're operating the aircraft by

of, say, 0.5 sm (and therefore be solidly in IMC), and still see be able to
the ground the whole time. But you wouldn't necessarily be using that view
to aviate or navigate.

I agree. Last week I was practicing approaches in moderate lake effect
snow where the RVR fluctuated between 1800 and 5000, yet I could see the
ground directly below the aircraft.

Not sure how seeing the ground below is relevant to logging an approach,
unless, of course, I am flying in that direction.
