Please don't mistake what I'm saying. You may be perfectly right re the AF90 accident cause. I'm only saying that:
1. They had subpar acceleration, because of bad EPR readings.
2. You tend to discount the above point simply because you flew a simulation of the above. But you had a long enough runway, and/or low enough TOGW, to tolerate a subpar acceleration with a good wing airfoil.
Enlightening, but not yet conclusive.
