An F/O 'forcing' a go around. Now we have two pilots wrestling on the controls at 300'. One is driving toward the runway and the other has applied max thrust for a go around.

Have we really thought this all the way through?

I'm not disagreeing with the sentiment and I acknowledge that it's a difficult situation with an unknown outcome. Over the last nine years or so I've thought through a number of times the possible responses to a disagreement at such a critical phase of flight and it's possible outcomes. None of them are very pretty.
