PBL - I chose 'e' because it came after your 'd'. You can file me in whichever drawer you need to.

Tyro - yes, I appreciate that you see it that way. We 'grew up' in the same school. The question was to the AB community at large, young and old. We now have pilots who probably know no other way of doing it (or have just forgotten basic tenets). How are they taught, and how do they visualise the system? All the 'normal' T/L handling you describe is over by the time you get to acceleration altitude, and when does it 'kick back in' - taxying in? In which box exactly does the landing fit? We have two totally different T/L functions; where is the clear transition when things go wrong?
