Do you have links/citations for any of the "many" above?
I second that motion! Will all respect to the venerable BelgArgUSA, I would really want to see figures to believe that decisions to abort prior to V1 have resulted in many overruns. My gut feeling is that most abort overruns can be linked to other factors, such as attempts to takeoff on contaminated runway, not having full power (without noticing until it's too late), aborts AFTER V1, overweight takeoffs, excessive tailwind, worn-out brakes, incorrect reject technique, etc.
If the balanced field calculations we use every day make us take an unacceptable risk, statistics would show it. So until such a study comes out, I have no reason to refuse an intersection departure on safety grounds.
Cheers,
