What of 'Land and hold short,' then? People do that all the time, even though some sorts of failure might see one go steaming right across whatever point one had just promised to stop short of, such as another active runway.

I don't see the problem, as long as the numbers add up. Otherwise you will never want to land on a runway that comes up just long enough assuming that everything works properly; you would insist on lots of extra distance 'just in case.' That is commendable but likely to adversely impact your employer's bottom line and your future career.
