No guesswork with no time to think...

We keep the go/no-go decision simple: For every takeoff only the captain's hand stays on the throttles until at (or just before) Vee One, whereupon the hand is removed and any event will be treated as an inflight problem... and only after reaching 1500 feet AGL, or obstacle clearance altitude, whichever is higher. When the captain's hand comes off the throttles it's an automatic and instinctive GO decision, even if it's 10 knots before Vee One!
