I can't believe someone would brief that. I'll give these guys the benefit of the doubt, maybe they got "Config Flaps" and the first reaction was hit the flaps to 20 while aborting... just depends on what kind of a time frame. Obviously at the very least you're going to do a carpet dance and you're going to "get" to explain exactly what you were thinking.
