I am doubtful that the pilots would have noticed before rotation so fail to see how a high speed reject may be a consequence.
Eh? If you pulled near to full back stick (then used trim??) and the nose doesn't come up, you fail to see that at least the thought would go thru the PFs mind that "this thing isn't going to fly, can/should I stop?"?

On a 3500m+ runway (admittedly not at CBR) the "unflyable" reject criteria would flash thru my mind...

Another good scenario for the Sim...
