As a more specific response to your scenario; the pilot is responsible for having current approach plates and being adequately familiar with the one being used. If he violates minimums, especially while flying in actual IMC, REGARDLESS of who tells him to do so, he is not only responsible for his actions, but he is a sucidal fool.
