I agree, but one does not choose the V 1 so the ASD to meet the ASDA.

V1 is selected so ASD=TOD and that's what balanced take off is all about.

To state that balanced take means that ASDA=TODA is the same as to state that IF a takeoff is balanced then you are limited by the runway lenght and that's not true at all.

This is clearly indicated on any RTOW chart.
