With you all the way, Gus.

At threshold, look at far end.
Attempt to reach it without touching the ground.
Without power, you're sure to touch somewhere before the end

Touchdown point is then dictated purely by speed.
Correct approach speed, correct touchdown point.
Too fast, too far down the runway.

The runway edge at shoulder height technique is great too, in fact virtually the only height reference when night landing.
