Does the Company Operations Manual specify touching down within a specific area on the Runway ? (not that it should need to)
Does it caution against deep landings and extended flares, specify a point in these situations where a rejected landing is mandatory? (not that it should need to either).
Is there a culture with local operators of adopting this practice on this particular Runway (never was in my time there).
Was there a practice in the Pilots PPL/CPL training of landing past certain points on a runway for whatever reason leading to "reversion under stress occuring".

I am not familiar with this operators manuals/procedures and not finger pointing. But definitely asking myself why a Captain would consider this strategy and was it specifically prohibited by Ops Manual.
