I accept your point, but you said the failure occurred at V1. There's a little room at V1 for a judgement call. Some days there may be lots of room, as in your situation, but on most others there's not enough for me to even consider stopping once the speed needle reaches the V1 bug, unless I have reason to believe the airplane may not fly.
I have to ask how long that runway was to begin with? If you got a fully loaded 767 to V1 and stopped with that much runway left, I believe you were on a very long runway. Hardly a typical circumstance that most of us find ourselves in on most long haul takeoffs.
I hope that you make a habit of briefing your First Officer that you may reject a takeoff once you've reached V1. It's doubtful that he's expecting it otherwise.

For the record, I am not involved in the MK investigation. Like all of you, I wait with baited breath for a reasonable explanation.
