That does rather change the meaning of your original guideline comment. We could bat this around for ages especially if we boil it down to semantics.
No it doesn't I'll translate to you my previous statement
SOP is a guideline and shouldn't substitute neither sound judgment nor airmanship
into the plain understandable language of "USE YOUR BRAIN."

So is it appropriate to insist a landing distance be worked out for each and every landing? Paragraph b will come to the fore rather rapidly!!!
It'll take your not more than 1 min to do so even less using LPC. Don't see a problem there. After a while you'll have a clear idea of the estimated figures. However beware that one of the fail item during any check is a deliberate violation of the OM A, B and C. Practically if you mention that OLD is not a factor on on 4000 m RWY with CAVOK nobody will blame you but if you omit it technically you've violated OM B and it's a fail item.
