Only if we can bring in the families of the dead and get their opinions of captains that failed to follow procedures based on factual evidence and killed their kith and kin by rejecting the take-off at high speed. Did you read the CRJ overrun accident at KCRW? I suggest you do, I just briefed it to my pilots. The statistical evidence is clear--high speed aborts are hazardous and aborts past V1 are lethal.

What if they crowd of 1520 survivors were told that the failings of their crews exposed them to unwarranted danger, that they would have been, statistically, safer NOT stopping.
