You will without doubt wreck the aircraft which probably should not be damaged in a well executed forced landing
On a very well executed forced landing I agree, what I disagree with is the ability of the majority of pilots to do well executed forced landings consistently in real life adrenaline pumping situations.

On this point I have again spent a fair amount of time considering this and have totally ruled out the need or desire to save the ship, if I find myself having to land off airfield then the only outcome I care about is walking away for me and my occupants and that is my sole focus on the best and safest way to do that.

Another point not raised so far is in an attempt to make a field, when caught out and coming up short there is a huge chance while impossibly trying to stretch the glide of stalling into the ground, this is rarely survivable and has caught out some extremely experienced and now dead pilots.
