I think too many instructors go straight for this, without even understanding it themselves, and without thousands of hours to back it up, the results are usually random and not attributable to any procedure. That's what ends up hurting students trying to learn this IMO. For those that don't have this, which is most of us, we need cues on how high to be level above the runway, when to reduce the power, how fast to reduce power, how much to compensate for wind (quantitatively) and then we can start to build up how to correct for being slightly outside of that perfect window, but still well within safe landings.
