Go-around/Weather/Variables

Think any rookie could go around in a low-weight jet assuming the approach was unstable? Think the same could then clean-up, limit speed, fly a tightish circuit with ATC help and then approach and land, this time on low fuel?
Think this could work in your average Greek/Turkish/Egyptian/Tunisian/Canaries field, let alone Skiathos, Funchal, Innsbuck, or the like? Or POP in a wide-body? Or anywhere in tough weather after 9 hours airborne? Or use reversers on landing and slow the beast down in a straight line?...With a sizeable crosswind?

The whole issue is nonsense.
