Really ... you're claiming that at no time during the course of an investigation into an airline accident involving a loss of control and strong evidence of Airspeed Unreliability and possible malfunction of an automated flight stability system, would investigators think to take a look at AoA data? That is an interesting opinion. Fascinating, really.
