I have no doubt, in the Global on 10,000 feet of runway, I hear a "bang" at V1, I'd stop, too. Just as, if a fuel truck leaps out in front of me and takes the wing off, I'll stop-- no choices there. But the real conversation is on the ASDR-limited (field length limited) and an engine rolls back or you get a simple fire light, then what? Take an overrun when the basic airworthiness is not in question. The plane and passengers are safer airborne and landing out of a controlled approach. Had the EMAS not been place at KCRW, the CRJ would have gone over the edge with loss of life. That is the real life story, not your silly extreme straw man arguments.
