Hmm. Rule of thumb for stabised approaches (1 dot high max, no lower than 0,5 below) is the error becomes +20 % and -10% of the height. Your numbers would be wrong by factor of four. Anybody care to do the math?

By the way I'm in the "aim to land as calculated using as much muscle memory/visual drill as possible". The humble observation being, that "out of the box" / "this one time only" techiques make for longer landings, at least on 50% of the attempts. Uglier ones for about 90%. (A320)
