Well, as usual, it depends.
Large pitch (control column) inputs during approach will definitely change the pitch (deck) angle, small ones will not.
During the flare maneuver, larger than normal column inputs reduce the spoiler extension, while at the same time increases the pitch angle.
Also contributing to the outstanding handling of the TriStar is the all-flying horizontal stabilizer.
Relaxing the backpressure during the flare maneuver however (as has been pointed out already) many times results in a 'thumper'.
Hmmm, a few Boeing guys try 'the push' and then promptly find out it ain't a good idea.
'Tis a good thing the folks at Palmdale installed the wing bolts really tight.
