I’m wondering - if there existed sensors which immediately notified pilots that say, a wingtip has contacted the ground - as in this case - might it be safer to continue the balky landing, rather than take to the air with a possibly structurally unsound wing? Is it imaginable that a sophisticated array of wing sensors (or empennage for tail strikes) could determine with certainty that the structure won’t fail upon becoming (tentatively) airborne? Might it just be safer to correct and continue the landing?
Whatever this analysis of landing, takeoff ground contact would be even more difficult in the vicinity of V1.

As the first officer is not wearing a ring, I prepare to ask Grok for the best pickup line to use when I exit the aircraft.

Wrong!
Take your seat and order a glass of Dom Perignon to make a toast to celebrate diversity. If you don’t, it means you’re both racist and sexist.
As for you, your toxic masculinity puts you in the ranks of the Deplorables. Bow your head and say ten Hail Hillary for your penance.
