You get to DA, and call “landing”. At 100ft, an aircraft down the runway starts to cross. Are you going to land the airplane because you said “landing” and are thus mentally prepared to land? As somebody said, I’d like to see some actual evidence to support that claim. If that’s indeed true, we’re in big trouble.
I think in obvious, extreme cases then no - it doesn’t matter what you said because there is clear and present danger. Something more subtle like an increasing tailwind, the approach becoming unstable, landing a bit long, etc. The thinking is that even if the difference made by using alternative phraseology is small or even non-existent at times, it is an incremental gain in safety. So why not?
