I give up.

How can anyone debate an issue when others don't read what is written.

...the technique you describe complicates what in reality is a simple yet misunderstood maneuver.
Oh the irony! Would you please explain how waiting for the 500 ft markers (for example) to pass under the glareshield is complicated.

Heavy 747/777/767/757/737 behave VERY differently to the lightly loaded versions...therefore a fixed reference point for the correct flare height is only a small piece of the puzzle.
I thought I covered that bit and explained that other bits are covered as well.

Nothing to it unless you are depth perception challenged (and some people are). In that case you will have to rely on the rad-alt callouts.
No depth or height perception required. In my opinion having to rely on a rad-alt callouts to land an aeroplane is completely unacceptable! It's very much like having to rely on an ILS and PAPI to make a visual approach!
