Are you reading the parallel discussion on SGP and what it takes to win there? Sadly the crash records don't lie, and we have lost many top pilots as well as many beginners over the years.

This is directed to me?

Yes, of course I'm aware of all this. It's one reason I view this discussion as a little distracting from potentially larger issues. Your proposed rule is quite specific. I am simply asking: where are all the logs of the guys tempting fate below 500 agl, then going on to win? Your rule would have no discernible effect on anyone who does end up landing and it doesn't have an enormous effect on the guy in 9th place who gets back up after a very low save.
