Simple, Mutt ... for the strong destabilising crosswind case, a min V1 failure, depending on CG etc., may render the aircraft uncontrollable. The typical airline pilot's mindset is that V1 means go... but if the tracking becomes uncontrollable, the need is to stop .. even if the speed is above V1 ... and this is not an easy thing to do for someone who has not had exposure to the problem.
