If Captains reacted to every "spurious" call that F/Os make, you would find your airfares are much,much higher.
ithinkso - you are unfortunately WAAY out of step with the the vast majority of Commercial Aviation on this subject.

I fly for a major Australian airline, and our Ops Man Vol. 1 states unequivocally that if the words "Go Around" is stated during approach, by any operating crew member (and that includes F/O AND CRFO - A GO-AROUND IS MANDATORY, by the Pilot Flying, REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY STRIPES HE HAPPENS TO WEAR.

Should you Sir, in this context disobey the call "GO AROUND", I can assure you that you would be the one faced with a CAE (Career Altering Event), and not the unfortunate F/O who had to put up with a recalcitrant Captain and physically wrestle the controls away from you. You may wish to think this through before you go sign on for your next roster.
