Well I'll tell you AGAIN..

Yes normally on a stabilized landing you will need to close the thrust at the beginning of the flare, that's normal and sometimes the speed may decay to VLS before touchdown.....ok I think we are agreed on that.

There are times during a late low level undershoot sinking shear you may need to leave the thrust on until touchdown to prevent speed decay, especially below VLS.......ok

That's the ONLY time I leave thrust on late in the flare......ok

It's not rocket science.....
