Agree mate, and I saw that as well. I just don't think that this incident was a 'good example' of 'anticipation', that's all.
I'm also not that convinced that the distraction introduced by the Captain should have been enough to cause the incident in question.
The thing is, is that there are plenty of distractions that can happen during the take-off roll (radio calls to other aircraft, birds, wind-gusts, etc). If these were genuine distractions I think we would be seeing more take-off incidents.
In any case, lessons to be learned from this incident.
At our airline, we require two indications (e.g. IVSI and radalt) before calling 'Positive Rate'.
DIVOSH!
