MH370 opinion ATSB

Australian investigators have rejected claims that the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 was deliberately brought down by the pilot.
Recent speculation that the jet was the subject of a "controlled ditching" into the sea was dismissed on Tuesday May 22nd 2018 by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.
The bureau maintains that the pilot was unconscious during the final moments.
..
The ATSB wants new evidence before reactivating the investigation.

Problem with that is that the Malaysian/ATSB investigation appears to have focussed on a single line of investigation. The ATSB, as far as I know, has never presented for example a longlist of possible scenarios, this long list mapped on a shortlist with most probable scenarios, and say a prime list with 2-3 scenarios. This is what you expect in the special case that MH370 is. If you dont know, open up.

One scenario that i have heard about, and was sent to the ATSB, already pointed to the Southern Indian Ocean when the search was still doing the Andaman-Perth route. The ATSB was asked to publish more data to better test the validity of the scenario. The ATSB dont tell us if this or other such scenarios have been investigated and in which list they put them or rejected them. So are they old or new evidence or evidence at all?
