Default RE: bad landing

HI all, how many would agree that a badly designed jet that porpoises on landing is caused by a scale tail ( too small, no 15% increase) or by the elevator getting blocked out.
Thanks in advance.

That can be caused by a lot of things besides design, technique, speed during the touch-down, flaps, CG, struts, type of tires, tons of stuff.
