On the subject of briefing: back in the day, I was taught that a go-around is always an option and is always briefed for. More than that, I was taught that you don't approach to land with the option to go around if the approach goes pear-shaped: instead, you approach to a go-around with the option to land if the ducks are in a row. It sounds like the same thing but it fosters a different attitude. But I've read elsewhere in this forum that nowadays some airlines' desk-flyers will hang you if, with 20-20-hindsight, they can find a reason why you shouldn't have gone around, as well as (as PilotLZ said up there) if the snapshot at 1000 feet AAL on final is not quite right.
