Cough,
You are of course correct.
I must confess that I had limited my comments to the use of brakes only. If the choices being considered are limited to touching down then either putting the brakes on very hard or very lightly, and doing nothing else to stop the aircraft, my comments are essentially true.
The coolest brakes and longest brake life will of course be achieved if you don't use them at all, until you park the aircraft.
