Derek Piggott did exactly the same thing as Tom Knauff, especially when
training instructors.

Sounds like you have identified the most likely cause. I tell students
to watch the spot on approach, then when it is in "point blank range"
there is no need to look at it any more, and it's time to look at the
other end of the runway.

Tom Knauff has students stand near the runway and bend at the knees to
simulate the last part of the landing hold-off. You look down the
runway and note the perspective changes that are the cues you need to
maintain a slow descent. For a comparison you can also look at the
ground near your feet to see how ineffective this is.
