When you have done this exercise, please return with your fancy theories and tell us you don’t want as much runway ahead
of you as possible when you touch down.
Settle down. If you read Flight Detent's post closely, he is pointing out that the PAPI leads you to a longer touchdown, past the ILS touchdown point. If you were following the PAPI, you'd probably even touchdown past the certification point (455m in).

In the old days. The current certification numbers (for me at least) are based on touching down at 455m/1490ft in. That extra 500ft might have saved them, eh?
Flight Detent, you need to move your red dot for BUR to a 60ft TCH.
