I'll buy the breakdown in CRM for sure. But the common link in a lot of these is "oh, hey look, a runway! Let's go visual!"
I just came out of AQP, as in TODAY. There was a lot of discussion about "being careful on a visual approach. This is what we have been seeing lately.". Even going so far as to show a few videos, and setting us up in the Sim for a scenario where we could make the wrong choice and point at the wrong airport. We, as humans, tend to disregard perceived instrument "failures" because "the runway is right there.". And we are also a heard/pack animal, that once one see it, the other may agree if unsure.
I'm not trying to discount a breakdown of CRM, but I feel like you are trying to disassemble the link that is undeniable in a visual approach.
The lure of "OH LOOK! There is the runway" can be pretty big. It can quickly lead to *bloup bloup bloup* "That was me, autopilot off, I'm going to hand fly the visual.". Then, "why don't the instruments agree? They must be wrong, because I am super pilot and can see the damn runway!"
You just outlined exactly why this is 100% a CRM/TEM issue.
