I agree ... at least as far as discussions here on this forum .... speculation and guesses (as to the cause) of any incident can be a healthy exercise that stretches our brain to consider all the possibilities ...... and so hopefully pilots and maintenance guys do not make those same mistakes.
One of the best examples were discussions on the Cougar S92 that went down off Newfoundland .... 18 dead ......
within 13 hours people here had pretty much nailed it ..... broken titanium studs on MRG oil filter housing.
It took 3 years for the official report to be released which confirmed the studs failing.
