Firstly, thank you blackmail. Your sums are of course reassuring and entirely logical.
Paxboy: the maingear are seriously beafy and designed to absorb the forces associated with landing, whereas the nosegear is designed only to support the front of the aircraft and steer it on the ground. Land on the nosewheel, it will probably collapse, or at least cause structural damage.
The technique is to raise (flare) the nose up wards just before touchdown to reduce the rate of descent, 'cushioning' the landing. This will also ensure the maingear lands first and takes all the shock load, then the nosewheel is gently lowered ('flown') onto the runway. Nosewheel first landings are more of a problem with light aircraft, whereas jets fly down the approach with a positive pitch angle (i.e. nose pointing up wards), a light aircraft flies down the approach nose down, and requires a good tug on the control column momentarily before landing to prevent the nosewheel hitting the deck first.
