Doves, reread the thread. The case has already been put and basically agreed that there are times it is safer, not just easier, to take a tailwind landing than a headwind. Want some examples? I'd take a tailwind on the ILS at RAK and ACE any time. Suggesting that one must always land into wind for safety shows a very basic level of airmanship - there are many more elements to an approach than wind direction.
Now in this case, the wind was so strong and the other factors so contributory that landing with the tail wind was clearly wrong. It it has been 5kts with all the same other variables, I'd say 50/50 and with nil wind the ILS would be better than the VNAV. But don't criticise others' airmainship if you don't understand the factors involved.
