All the discussion about it being LGA, or MCO, or DEN, etc. The paint stripes and asphalt don't know that they're in LGA, MCO, or DEN.
No, but it helps if the pilot does. Next time in MEX or TGU - just try pretending that it's MCO or LGA.

And a basic flying rule - don't push forward on the yoke in the flare. Pull is good, freeze is fine, ease back pressure approaches tricky and maybe be dangerous. Push? Never. If you think of pushing the answer is 'G/A'.
Actually, depending upon the airplane, (and presuming runway available exceeds runway required) a slight forward pressure in the flare, just as you slowly close the throttles and just before main gear touchdown, can result in a nice grease job.
