Like watching a really slow speed car accident.

A rejected take-off at low speed will catch people out unless they've been trained for it.

The problem is that asymmetric thrust at low speeds will overpower steering/rudder capability.

The only way to restore directional control is to bring the engines to idle thrust. Only them will directional control be possible.

Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find in this business

Correct. And now we see some airlines with the F/O setting thrust on giant engines(with the captain subsequently taking control of the thrust levers once the Thrust Set call is made). Yet there is no training given to the F/O(or really anybody) on the most important thing to in the event of an engine failure. Chop the thrust. And it gets much worse when adverse crosswinds come into play even at higher speeds.
