I could not agree with you more Cosmo and with you less Dani.
Regardless of the size (or width) of the jet transport in question rotation is a VISUAL manoeuvre.
Your monitoring Pilot can be double checking your pitch attitude after VR but your eyes should be out of the cockpit until you are properly airborne when you can transition to the ADI and start a normal scan.
Seat position is vital to one's perspective.
And the same with landing, once over the threshold you should have transitioned to 100% visual, looking down at the far end of the runway to judge sink rate and subsequent flare, once again the Pilot monitoring can be double checking attitude (and other indications)
If you are the Pilot flying and are rotating for take off and flaring for landing by watching the ADI you are doing it WRONG.
No matter what you are type rated on.
