Lot of fuss about nothing. Obviously most important thing is that the right decision is taken as fast as possible.
FWIW; in our company, for a/c type I fly (B73):
-Once take-off thrust is set and roll commenced, aborting for just an amber master-caution light is not recommended.
-After passing 80 kts, aborting take off should be restricted to engine fire/failure and control problems affecting safe a/c handling
-Either pilot may call stop, PF aborts take-off.
-Only until V1 the 'STOP' call can be given.
-Outside previously mentioned guidelines only captain may decide to abort.
Guess there will always be scenarios that won't fit inside the procedures mentioned in this topic, but that keeps the job interesting.
