Without looking towards the distance you can't judge the pitch changes you're making and the decent rate as you 'fly' the flare. There's a reason all manufacturers teach this as the way to land in the manuals, and that airline instructors are also taught this. I would ask yourself the question: "Who is more likely to be right, those working on the knowledge and experience evolved through 120 years of aviation, or a few random guys who have come up with their own theories?".

I'm not against new ideas and new thinking, but it's got to be scientifically testable through data and lived experience. "Some people say" is a talking point, rather than a firm base.
