Pierre,

you information is correct, but consider this...

the boeing documentation says that firm arrivals in the correct position are preferred over landing long and holding off for a greaser - tail strike being one consideration.

anyone who advocates landing long in order to get a greaser is on the wrong track in my opinion - but then I also disagree with Dash-8's landing long just because they can - it is most unprofessional in my opinion....
