I know of good people who's airline career was ruined (promotion training terminated or self funded jet endorsement failed) because for whatever reason they just couldn't make it happen in the last 50 ft.

They were otherwise smart and co-ordinated people. All they needed was some guidance or framework to work off while they got the experience you talk about.
Have you read the last post? It is ridiculous to think that all that information is going to help some Pilot who is in training and trying to get used to a new airplane. I am not disputing what it is saying, I am disputing the idea that it will help someone who is learning to land a new type. You mention people have failed because of the last 50ft before touchdown. I say if things were kept simple they would have a better chance of passing, after all they are allready pilots. People just need some simple tips, practice, and confidence.

All this complicated and theroetical talk is fine, but it my opinion it should be meant to help fine tune someone who aready has experience's technique. It will not help someone who is still trying to pick out where the N1 indicator is.
