Chuck said "If you look at the far end of the runway after the flare to the level attitude you will never ever really be able to judge your height above the runway...period."

So why does this technique seem to lead to me making better landings?

Do you really need to know exactly how far above the runway you are once you've done the flare and are now just 'flying' the aircraft until it can't fly any more and settles onto the ground? (I'm assuming you can tell the difference between 2 feet and 10 feet - i.e. you know if you've flared way too soon and ended up too high)
