A go around after contact with structures or a very hard landing is never a good idea. However, the Australian incident you almost cite was a result of incorrect take-off performance data. Once you are dragging your tail through the weeds at the end of the runway it’s obviously too late to stop. Its not a case of boldly soldiering on, more a case probably of opting not to kill everyone right that second.
