This is my point. If I attempt a "full stall" landing and mis-judge the

No you can't. You can be in an aircraft that is descending
because you are on the back side of the power curve. That
can cause a hard landing if you haven't given it enough
engine power or enough elevator to produce the lift and/or
power needed to stop that descent. But it's *not* a stalled
wing, and it's *not* a total disappearance of lift due to a
stall

Before I transitioned to "Extreme Slow Flight"
landings, I stalled a few times a few feet in the air and dropped to the
runway out of control. In a Cessna, this results in a bounce due to no
shocks in the landing rear.

It's extremely unlikely that you ever actually stalled near
a runway.

And it is extremely unlikely he bounced as a result.
