who cares about stats...
I would not care what the statistics and the number says..
I would go by the SOP rather than creating new definition of V1 at the most critical time of my life...
Personally, my strategy is : as I sense entering the high speed area (>100kts), I keep telling my self " This would be a 'go' "
by the way, does anyone know how many times the engines of airliners have failed above 100kts or closer to actual V1...
cheers
