Excepting gross mishandling or weather, a GA in the flare or after touchdown should not invoke concerns of insufficient speed, power response, tail strike, climb performance, control effectiveness, etc.

Whilst some of the comment in this forum represents the real professionals in the industry, other aspects suggest that the professional quality is in decline. An emerging concern should be if incorrect or ill-informed comments are influencing the new or inexperienced pilots or unwary management.
Does the predominance of mis-informed information in social media and open forums present a risk in aviation, does it degrade the standards of communication and belief;
How about showing us which quotes you feel are incorrect so that the inexperienced will know what not to believe.
