I have to say, that I do not keep my eyes on the engine instruments during the entire takeoff run. And I don't think that it is a good idea to do so.
Yes, the statement taken literally and without the filters that normally attend knowledge, experience & airmanship is indeed too narrow for advice to young players. I was making the observation expecting that a trained & seasoned airman would know that during takeoff, focus is demanded on all aspects of the takeoff such as aircraft & engine performance, trajectory on the runway, (on centerline), etc. and not just slavishly to the engine gauges without a glance elsewhere.

A little too genererous estimated above
Ok, well is it a difference that makes a difference?
The point being made is, it's rare, period, so I should have said "rare" and not applied an exact number.
