OBD is correct. While it is certainly a bad idea, I have seen pilots both extend and retract flaps close to the ground in attempts to fix poor arrivals. It was probably even more prevalant in the days befor FOQA and QAR data. You see a lot of crazy stuff if you ride jumpseats for 25 years. Having said that, I have also witnessed aviators who we all should try to emulate. Somebody has to be on the good side of the bell curve.
