There has been a large volume of doctrinal discussion about the decision to take at V1.

The unspoken premise in decision making at V1 is that the a/c has accelerated normally to V1 -- did not happen here.

This accident is closer to what the winch glider folks call a "slow launch".

In both cases, if you let it go too far, you run out of runway before you are ready to fly.
