Please remember that fuselage attitude (nose high, nose low...) DOES NOT equal AOA. It's a matter of how the angle of INCIDENCE is set by the manufacturer. The BAC-111 and the B-52 are excellent examples of the incidence angle set so high that the fuselage is actually nose-down on final.
Number one (of three) primary reasons.
Barit1 clearly has a grasp of the aerodynamic situation, and I would suggest he also knows the other two, if he is old enough...or, has studied the historical situation to any reasonable degree.
