First of all, I took it literally because you emphasised your point with "that's it and that's all." That is the definition of, take this literally.
Second, I never said to just start calling "go around" because you're a little unstable. But I have said, "um, I'm pretty sure he said 12,000 not 14,000." As long as you are professional about it, most crews appreciate the help.
And just to be clear, I wouldn't have called GA in the scenario presented. I don't think a dot high at 400 feet is enough for me to get involved, especially on a long runway. Now, full scale, power idle on a short runway? I'd probably say something to the Captain.
