Re the discussion about looking inside or out; I am still puzzled by slavish following the FD if it is showing something obviously wrong. You know you are rotating to climb away, you know the attitude you usually aim for, so surely you pitch to that and if the FD shows something else, then it is wrong and you ignore it, while the PNF sorts out the anomoly. No 1 job fly the aeroplane, Attitude + Power = performance as we used to teach eons ago.
PS: The aeroplane taking the decision is very likely, simply physics, beyond a certain speed you can't keep it on the ground
