Of course, that system would lead to dumps on short final at about 50 feet

There really is a big difference between dumping the flaps, and bringing
them quickly back to the point of greatest lift relative to added
drag--usually around 20 degrees. I've had instructors who insisted on
milking the flaps off, despite the contrary advice in the POH.
