Besides. ATC often require 160kts to 4 DME on approach.
How does Noodle propose to slow down to a VREF of 135kts??
He says you use pitch for speed. So at 4 DME he raises the nose first does he? That would have the result of causing the aircraft to balloon high above the GS. Then he would have to quickly reduce thrust to get back down destabilizing his approach considerably. This is untidy and wrong practice. On Jets you don't want the nose to be pitching up or down on approach if you can help it, thrust is much more effective in facilitating speed changes whilst keeping a relative stable pitch attitude and thus flight path angle.
