When you pull on the yoke to increase pitch, you’re actually dumping lift*. Yes, it is at the tail which means you will also set up a rotation. Yes, this rotation will eventually mean a larger AoA and more lift. Yes, this will – eventually – reduce the rate of descent.
But
right now you are
dumping lift.
That is just as if you were extending spoilers. Less pronounced, but the same thing, and just when the main problem that you are trying to sort out is that you should have flared (more) a few seconds earlier to have that small extra amount of lift.
We all know what spoilers while still slightly in flight will do. No rotation required to have the RoD momentarily increase and the mains planted extra-firmly on terra firma.
Yes, all this has been said before in the thread but it seems another way of looking at the proceedings might still be in order.
Cheers,

* Or increasing negative lift, whichever makes you happy.
