There is no winning in the situation because the flight cancelled and was investigated by flight ops and maintenance. The monday morning quarterback concluded that I should have continued even though it was policy to abort. That taught me to just do what I thought was safest because someone WILL have a contrary opinion, whether that person is evaluating your performance is a crapshoot.
100% this!!!

and ultimately the responsibility will fall back on the CA which is why having the FO make the decision is not wise.
