Jettisoning these 3,000 gallons of fluid in 3-seconds whilst flying the aircraft - how does that affect controlling the aircraft while dealing with an engine failure? Remember, you are talking about those whose same pilots who you think cannot handle an RTO.
I find this discussion more baffling now that we learn that you are a trainer.
Suggesting it might be preferable to have a lower V1 from a strategic view isn't automatically associated with a reluctance to carry out an RTO from a higher V1. There could be operational reasons one might prefer to favour continuing from a lower V1.
