Saying goes "nothing as useless as the runway behind you and fuel in the bowser"...

In earlier days I would have had no hesitation in arguing that provided the calculations allowed it that there is nothing wrong with an intersection take-off but old age has made me more cautious and in less of a hurry and prefer to have all the runway available to me just in case...

Lets face it, it is preferable to abort and have plenty of time and bitumen left as opposed to aborting and having to slam on brakes and or reverse trust. Saver and easier on the equipement too.
