during the landing including the flare and hold off is accomplished by what you see, not what you feel
What is meant by "feel" obviously does not mean the physical sensation of feeling! It means "getting a feeling for it" rather than a precise procedure to be followed. (Again) obviously this is by visual cues.
Maybe "getting a feeling for judging the height accurately" would make you happier?
When you drive your car down a highway do you stay in the lane you are in by feel or by sight?
Maybe painting white lines at the various heights in the sky next to the runway would be the way to go?
