You’d have thought so, wouldn’t you? The HF experts say no, by calling “land” you are mentally more committed to landing (I don’t have any references but studies have been done), whereas “continue” leaves the options a bit more open. Bit like the difference between a green light at a junction and one that’s flashing amber: you can still cross it in either case but you use more caution in the second scenario...
