The waters were already muddied before we started this discussion
. We can take it as read that this isn't one of those very rare accidents that turn out to have a single, straightforward "ultimate cause".
I would expect, when the investigation report finally appears, that there will be both multiple factors listed under "probable cause" and several other "contributory factors" (that's NTSB-speak, but most AIBs make a similar distinction).
One finding I don't expect to see is that the engineer replacing the AoA probe either sawed off the locating pin or hammered it through the skin of the 737.
