The "dumb" is policy; i.e., the overlay program is interim, thus when a
standalone IAP is developed for the same runway (or for circling in a case
like this) the overlay authorization is removed from the ground-based IAP.

As to the issue of the controller being confused that is systemic
throughout the country, as demonstrated by Atlanta Center's Chip here
recently ala a new IAP in the southeast.
