Perhap all of you "command" pilots need a reminder that the worst disaster in aviation history happened on a runway when a 747 "commander" exercised his command decision. That instance might not be exactly the same as what happened here but it boils down to the captain doing the opposite of what the ATC wanted him to do.
As F-16GUY mentioned earlier, if performing a go around makes your butt tingle then I'm afraid you need some more sim time.
