5 knots after V1 he loses an outboard engine, during rotate he has a stress induced heart attack, please describe in some detail how the backup computerised systems will cope, or will they?
A "standard" V1 eng failure a computer could cope well with. So long as all indications worked correctly i.e. no interpretation / thinking outside the box was required.

You only have to look here at the dangers of single pilot operation where even with a colleague telling him to Go Around he persevered. As a single example it is poor, but think how many like minded pilots have tried to do similar things, but been "rescued" by a lower workload colleague breaking the chain? I've been on both sides of that (being helped, and helping).
