Abort or Reject

Both are conscious, informed decisions made at a predetermined point in the takeoff Roll. Volition (option, choice) disappears at V1, by Statute. (Read: Regulation). Just past (actually just before according to Boeing), The pilots first attempts are to initiate aerodynamic flight, no mealy mouthed maybe. If, by misadventure or chance, the A/C will not fly, and no recourse is available to alter that fact, the crew now must immediately find every resource to erase all their acquired energy, and mitigate to their best ability any harm or damage. Do I understand the question? Because I'm happy with my answer and will fly with anyone who agrees with me.
