You are talking about something very critical here: even though it is EGT, it is a representation of a high pressure turbine temperature, a very critical point in a jet engine.

Over the limit calls for recall actions, end of story. "Interpretation" is in this case not our job.

If the engine reaches 726°C during start, it's not something too "interpret" too. It's simply not allowed.
Completely Agree with you,
now the question is, you have done your recall actions and everything is back to normal.
The checklist doesn't specifically say "Plan to land at the nearest suitable airport"
What would you do? come back or continue?
