You don't need to have the aim point in the centre of your vision to be looking at it!!! I thought it was common practice to transfer your focus to the far end of the runway when entering the flare - it's far easier to judge your round-out and touch down if you use peripheral vision.

Also, for those of you denigrating the Jacobson Flare (and some of you even the man himself) for being too academic - maybe you need to be reminded that different people learn differently. If you don't like a highly engineered approach like this, that's your prerogative, but there are some who prefer a more articulate description of what is both a beautifully simple and incredibly complex maneuver.
