regarding going below the glideslope:

in an ideal world, no one would. but this airport , along with chicago midway are two examples where it might make sense.
No: Touchdown scatter is significantly expanded by completing the final approach below the glideslope, thus landing performance is not assured.

You're much more likely to land long.

Again, the poster here is fundamentally wrong.
