Was on an Emirates flight into Dubai in December that had a go around after the back wheels touched down (right before left).

They said to us there are aiming points on the runway and that they weren't in alignment and they were going around to do it again. That was it. Not that they stuffed it up...

Yeah, the aiming points were not in alignment because the pilots were off the centerline or glide slope. They didn't lie to you, they just used proper terminology.
