conundrum:-
A riddle in which a fanciful question is answered by a pun.
A paradoxical, insoluble, or difficult problem; a dilemma.
In aviation no pun or difficulty; more often the framing the question or in understanding the situation.
If judgement was sufficient to detect a shortfall in distance remaining for an RTO (how known - accel, distance), then why would similar judgement not be made during initial acceleration - again how knowable, what cues - acceleration alone?
To change a worldwide approved procedure due to one instance of a 'feeling' is fraught with danger.
If in the event of an engine failure before V1, then choosing to go is more likely a decision to 'go off' the side of the runway - the 'chances of a real V1 cocked up abort' start with the choice and application of procedures, 'by you, your thinking, your misplaced feeling' (us, humans).
As described, the actions - full thrust, suggest that the judgement was that distance remaining was insufficient to achieve lift off; that is not a V1 issue, its more likely how to determine adequate acceleration which has been discussed previously.
The 'problem' is how to detect blocked sensors, incorrect thrust, aircraft acceleration.
In modern EFIS aircraft, note the normal range of speed trend - an acceleration cue; a quick cross check by PM as required early in the takeoff run.
