Good sir,

One can only suggest that we should agree to disagree.

The whole Industry is based on probabilities - in general, there are few certainties, if any, about aircraft. That's the nature of distribution curves and probabilities of failure.

with 6000 feet ahead gives me the choice of stopping a rolling aircraft with twice my landing distance ahead

Of course it does.

Now, whether such a decision, on a routine basis, is sound or not is a matter for standardisation debate.

As an aside, what do you do in the case where you have, say, 300 - 400ft spare pad in front at V1 with tiger country in the overrun ?
