That is a lot of text explaining those few seconds of flight,but only once, in post #21 (by looseobject), point 3, I have seen the extremely important tip to shift your focus from the intended touch down point towards a point far down the runway. Only that way you will be able to judge your vertical rate from your peripheral vision, and without that, all you will be doing is monkey tricks.
You missed the reference in my first post about it then.

From post number 15
When you hear that call of "FIFTY" you should raise your stare from the touchdown point that is going to disappear under the nose, to 2/3 the way down the runway (I just look to the end personally), which gives you the horizon in your peripheral vision to judge your sink rate.
