I am going to add a couple of points for thought? Firstly why do you want to judge a 10 foot point for the flare?
Could that be 20 feet? 10 feet ? 5 feet ? or even 2 feet ?
Landing at just above the stall has little to do with landing an aircraft other than meeting the published stopping distance as I have stated before it is quite possible to land an aircraft which stalls at 60 kts at 120kts if you have the skills.
At 1.3 times the stall gives you a buffer to change AOA and hence loose speed without stalling before contacting the runway but it is a misunderstanding to connect these speeds with actually landing which could be at any speed.
I had a friend who had a control problem in a Citation who landed at Edinburgh at 200 kts when his VREF should have been 105 kts !!!
Way above even the tyre limits but he stopped safely.
