the thing is... there can be an absolute bullseye.
and it's apparent to everyone.
however, an investigation will encompass everything and that no doubt takes time to complete.

to me its a legal position to ensure no stone is left unturned. but it does no favors for the industry or the people affected
we crave information so that tomorrow the same doesn't happen to others. a year from now is too long to wait for many of us.
unfortunately many of the details that are documented in an investigation are irrelevant, but it's part of the process we have to accept

so even though there is speculation and theories abound, I welcome them for the simple reason it gets people talking and thinking, because thats usually all that is there as a safety net until the actual final report comes out.
