How does a tailwind affect the aiming point which is determined as a geometric point on the runway, and to which in general a vertical path is expected to be flown to intercept the same point?
If the statement refers to the rollout due to the higher groundspeed, then that is different.

just curious
A headwind, reducing close to the ground, will let you drop out of the air due to insufficient airspeed, whereas a tailwind, reducing close to the ground, will increase the airspeed and as such, keeps you flying/floating longer, IE your landing spot automatically moves further down the runway.
