That could be, maybe it did contribute to his response.

Now we only have one side to the story here, but according to the OP, he was *on* the PAPI, and touched down *at* the touchdown markers. If all that is true, and he was on speed, there's really not a lot to (legitimately) criticize about the landing. To claim that an approach and landing which was on speed (an assumption), and nailed the PAPI, and touched down at the touchdown markers was somehow defective because the plane was 66 ft over the threshold vs 50 ft is inane.
