about 25 years ago, a TWA 767 pilot told me he added 23 knots to land at PHL.

The chief pilot called him in...he said: if you have to add 23 knots, you should have diverted.

OK, so...mechanical flying from now on...divert.
There must have been some other issue, such as a badly unstable approach. I didn't retire until late 1990 and never had a chief pilot be so arbitrary at TWA.
