Default Variations in soft field landings

On a "soft field landing," it is presumed that you have lots of runway,
but it is soft (muddy). Leave the flaps down, stick full back, so you
slow down more rapidly and settle at a lower airspeed. You can leave
some power in, with the stick full aft, to taxi to an intended turnoff.


I don't think that presumption is accurate.

I wonder how many turf runways are not also 2000'?

And I wonder how many 2000' are not also turf...
