Read my post again.
The cabin crew called brace after the aircraft hit something. Every one of the passenger interviews published so far agrees on that. Then, after the CC had called brace, there was either a subsequent impact, or there wasn't. That's where there's a conflict between different passengers' accounts.
I'd say that determining which accounts are correct was extremely relevant to how the aircraft ended up in the water.
