See above re comments on runway and reverse thrust options.

I have no idea where ASN got that from, but I'd rather take the AAIB's word for it.

The first of your links above is to their investigation report. It lists a single probable cause:

"The accident was caused by the failure of the aircraft to achieve the expected level of braking effectiveness on the wet runway"
