All that matters is greasing it on. Doesn't matter if the grease happens 3500 feet down the runway and you have to slam on the brakes and make Grandma Jones in seat 16C impale the back of Jack Spratt in 15C's head with her dentures in the deceleration. GREASE, as in VASELINE on that runway is ALL that matters.
And why is it that everyone cares so much about grease-on landings but not takeoffs? How about a good old-fashioned grease-OFF? You can see everything you need to know about a new (to you) FO or captain's flying skills from how they handle a simple 10-15 knot crosswind component takeoff.
