So where are you going to stop second guessing the aircraft systems?
As old Smokey posted, if you get a fire warning prior to V1 ...Stop. That is what V1 is for! (+ all your perf. calcs.)
If, (the one in a million) it is false, then you are on the ground no harm done, rather than, "oh it may be false" & the wing falls off three mins after take off!
Or, what would you have done in the unfortunate Concorde accident?
ATC calls "Fire" crew initially had no warning & continue. Had they rejected the take off perhaps some/all would have survived?(remember they had second(s) to assimilate that call before VR ,& they were already past V1)
Where do you start becoming a medium & stop being a pilot?
Hindsight is a wonderful thing after all..........
EDIT..(Gas-chamber & self must have been drinking the same mind altering brew!)
