One point which should be noted .. in many of these discussions, comments suggest that a pre-V1 continue/post-V1 abort WILL compromise the distances. A necessary qualification to such statements is that the compromise will apply to the scheduled distances .. and unfactored, specifically. In the real world, the takeoff often is not limited for runway requirements and excess runway length compared to the scheduled AFM data may save the day.

The magic thought should be around the concept of lines in the sand and reference data .. which should be considered by the pilot intelligently in the circumstances of the day. By rote application of technique greatly simplifies things and reduces the incidence of strange responses to crisis .. but may not necessarily be the most appropriate or useful response on the day... and this point can be discussed as a philosophy until the cows come home ..
