Just for the record

David Houl52 quoted Pilot DAR

If you got a stall warning horn as you gently touched, you probably had a great landing too
David Houl52 then said

My instructor would kill you if she heard you say this!

What control can you possibly have of your aircraft if it is at stall speed? What would happen if there was a problem and you had to apply full power?

Every instructor has their own pet beliefs about what are the absolutely essential rules to flying. They often contradict each other. Come skills test day one is pleasantly surprised that the examiner is a lot more relaxed and will remind you of what really IS important.
E Harding then said

Before the verbal beatings start, I want you to go away for 30 minutes, maybe lie down in a darkened room, and then come back and explain why that posting of yours was a quintessential expression of the purest form of utter bollocks.

Or we can do the shouty-shouty thing now. Up to you.
I think that E Harding summed things up pretty well
