.no LAND ASAP note at the end = continue (assuming not part of a multiple failure).
What about this from the QRH checklist instructions?

There are some situations where the flight crew must land at the nearest Available Airport. These situations include, but are not limited to, conditions where:
• the non–normal checklist includes the item “Plan to land at the nearest Available Airport.”
• fire or smoke continues
• only one AC power source remains (engine or APU generator)
• only one hydraulic system remains (the standby system is considered a hydraulic system)
• any other situation determined by the flight crew to have a significant adverse effect on safety if the flight is continued.
In some circumstances I would put this into the Catagory of potential significant adverse effect on safety if the flight is continued.
An ethos of " no Land ASAP= continue " is a bit ridiculous. If it was that simple there would be no need for you sitting up the front. Sometimes you have to make a decision on your own as Boeing have pointed out in their QRH.
