I am not sure anyone said full fine on short final was an OWT of sorts, if I did say that well clearly I am losing the plot. What I did say.....
Why not land with the pitch control still set from the cruise. say 2300 RPM. Why not, in the event of a baulked landing, RED/BLUE/BLACK, in about the time you read that, or if you can do all at the same time, who cares. It will not make any difference. Now you are climbing away at full bore max rate.
So if it makes you feel better going full fine on final, well do so, just dont go boring downwind at 120 knots and back to 2700RPM making an almight noise that only winds up the people who leave near to the aerodrome. They get enough on takeoff so halve the number of 2700RPM events

Despite what your instructor once taught you, you can learn a whole new more neighbour friendly and sensible "checklist" that is not dangerous and is "better" in some ways.
