I can picture it & hear the conversation!

During approach, precise Thrust,drift &power settings calculated according to ATIS, regardless of reality.

Flare height calculated, according KAL SOP & not AB (or Boe FCTM)

Last 4 miles; Lots of "oh, oh, oh, & much sucking thru teeth!

Main Gear Touchdown. before nose on deck FO into FMGS/FMS to look at touchdown "G" reading & max Roll value.

PF, now major sucking thru teeth, followed by statment " But I flared at the correct height with correct pitch/drift! Must be the AA TEE I SS is wrong.

VERY STRANGE CAPTAIN!! more sucking noises.
