On amore serious note: landing "feet up" is impossible on a Boeing and nigh to impossible on a Cessna, many instructors project this knowledge to an Airbus without questioning the logic. The tendency to buy a typerating from a TRTO, not from the manufacturer, helps to spread fake news and wrong techniques.
18,000+ hrs in Boeing's with my feet 'up'. Didn't know I was doing the impossible. Your post is contributing to "fake news and wrong techniques." You can land feet 'up' in all the aircraft I've flown, including Boeing's and Cessna's, By using the required techniques many things in flying, or life, can suddenly go from impossible to easy.
