From the design perspective, what the heck is the sidestick position cross doing on the PFD when approaching VR?
It seems to me that good man-machine interface design would remove the cross from the display once airspeed reached a value where the pilot would normally shift his focus from the sidestick ground postion indication, to pitch attitude indication (just prior to rotation). Get the darn thing off the display when its no longer needed, so the pilot doesn't accidently focus (or get distracted) by an unneeded indicator.
I know that most posting are focused on the training issue (which is extremely important), but there's a design issue here as well.
