OK I agree my post was an oversimplification.However if your descent rate is 1000 fpm not the usual 700 fpm at 50 feet, something is wrong and you need to either flare a bit earlier otherwise pull back (flare) a little more.The point is, if you just fly it like a robot (autoland style), you are highly unlikely to smash it on.Pete.
