So a go around is planned then. Good.
I've never said the go-around procedure wasn't briefed. I merely said that the crew are unlikely to have 'planned' to go-around due to the reported wind. Remember, I was responding in lay-speak to a non-pilot.

I sincerely hope that you would go around before that, regardless of aircraft size
At what point would you have liked to see a go-around given that the wind on approach was within limits, they expected turbulence on the TDZ and could have anticipated a long flare, and the landing was recoverable until the moment the PF pushed the nosewheel into the tarmac?

Anyone care to state how much runway they had left when they "landed"?
It is highly likely that they had plenty, however there's not enough information to make a judgment. Generally, however, I would agree that a go-around ought to be made once significantly beyond the TDZ.
