no right... no wrong ...
Good points raised here, my personal take is this.
Object of the exercise is to arrive over the nominal 50 foot barrier at the book speed for type +/- gust factor power on or off.
What we want to do is to achieve is a safe landing: the definition of that varies with type, but the aircraft SHOULD be allowed to enter the zone of nose high pre-stall sink in the correct attitude prior to touchdown on the appropriate bits of rubber.
This ensures the impact is at least nose high, and positive avoiding the embarrassment of bent nose wheels, propellers or whatever and applies equally to a shiny jet as to a microlight.
