How many aircraft had an engine fail @ V1?
Is your suggestion that we do not discuss that scenario either?
No. That's quite a realistic proposition.

But a double engine failure after V1 when taking off from an aircraft carrier isn't.

There is no performance standard for a OEI missed approach from below minima.

The only requirement from below minima is landing climb for which the aircraft is certified to make a 3.2% gradient.

Why would anyone be taking a jet OEI into an airfield with dodgy terrain? and not securing the runway before commencing approach?

We could make up ridiculous scenarios all day to discuss but they are of little or no benefit when half the audience doesn't know what the aircraft is certified to do or what assumptions various procedures use.

Much better to make sure we can all do the stuff that is likely to happen properly. If that day ever comes then we can move on to the unlikely and eventually the ridiculous.
