Stuka, you're missing the point. On the above list, on how many did the crew learn of something after V1 but before they attempted to rotate? Most of those the aircraft were not flight worth at the beginning of the takeoff run (generally mis-configured with an inop or disabled warning system). If the aircraft won't rotate, you're generally not going to discover that until you attempt to rotate - at which time you better pray there isn't much to hit at the end of the runway.
The only one that really fits the scenario of the crew getting some sort of indication of trouble after V1 is Concorde - and they were going so fast when the tire blew that even if they'd tried to abort I doubt it would have ended much better.
The question is, should you abort if you get an indication of a problem after V1. The Boeing answer was no...
Pointing out that aircraft that are not airworthy at the beginning of the takeoff run often crash is a non sequitur.
