I agree with your train of thoughts but normally the G/S should extend on a rejected takeoff regardless of the G/S lever position.
Yes but if not armed there will be a delay until reverse thrust selection - which adds to the risk. And if you forget reverse as well.............
And just to clarify some of the more ludicrous recent postings from the land of the cuckoo clock... PF keeps his hand on the T/L throughout the landing roll, because he is using that hand to select and cancel Reverse Thrust.
