I sure don't understand this. So many accidents due to aborts at 100+ kts on the big iron and so few cases where the situation was seriously in doubt to justify abort above 100 kts. Sure the pilot must make a decision based on his perceptions, but I do think that it's unwise to issue a blanket piece of advice of when to go and not to go
