I agree with exactly what you wrote. The problem... How do people know if it's going to be "decent" conditions for the day? If you've just come up on the ferry from Lake St Clair - fair enough.
If you've been out bush for a significant number of days, then you have no idea of the conditions which may occur in a short amount of time. If I had a recent forecast I'd head up to the labyrinth for a day of exploring. If not, I'd be taking a bunch of gear with me.

Oh . . . piffle!
The Parthenon, Cyane, Elysia, Dombrovskis Tarns, Pool of Memories, even Walled Mtn & The Minotaur, are all comfortable daywalks from Pine Valley in decent conditions.
