What about knowing your A/C and it's capabilities???
What about "flying the A/C"???
Quit relying on automation and do what you were hired for in the first place...FLY THE AIRPLANE!!!
This was a Boeing for gosh sake...not one of those "fully automated" can't do wrong airplanes...

Gosh, you are sounding like 411A, and know what?
You are absolutely correct with your statements.

Yes, as I pointed out before, landing at near max weight on a wet runway, with possibly a slight tail wind, can be problem...therefore, if in doubt, divert.
However, if you do decide to land, at least don't overfly nearly half the runway whilst doing so.
