I don't really buy the view that a steeper approach will ensure a more accurate touchdown location.
From having done a several hundred, I can tell you categorically that it is easier to land from a steeper approach than a shallower one.

It is just as easy to float from a steep approach than it is from a normal 3 degree approach.
Yup! If you are those people who "adds a bit for Mum and the kids" or someone who rounds out too high, then you'll always find it difficult if not impossible top hit the target. But there again, these are the sort of people who are also doing the wrong job.
