Takeoff with f/d off. Notice, rotate to 15 degrees, press toga, f/d appears...problem solved. It's hardly the end of the world. And a minor oversight, not stupid. My point being that it's an aid not essential, and relying on f/d or anything other than basic attitude flying is fraught with danger. Looking through the f/d is in fact a very sensible thing to do rather than follow it blindly. The very point we are discussing.
