Ditto, Dan. 100% agreed.

The worst scenatio on short final is being a little high on the last couple hundred feet. As you dive to regain the GSlope the Autothrust reduces thrust to keep the speed, and so you arrive very near terra firma with a bit of a high sink and the autothrust IS slow in adding power just when you reach the flare. But by all means, avoid the temptation to pull the nose to arrest the sink. Better to arrive like a load of bricks than scrape the tail.
