Perhaps I am wrong (as so many of you are pointing out)
but if I make a descent rate to arrive at a step down higher than
published,
it seems as though my descent rate has a good chance to not get me to
the
MDA when the time is up (or distance) and I have to go missed. So
eventually I would have to do the dreaded "dive and drive" later anyway.


As long as you are at the LAST stepdown fix at the minimium altitude and
correct airspeed then what difference does it make what altitudes you
crossed the other stepdowns?


Quite -- think of what the word "minimum" means.
