Can we ask the 4 deceased 737 pilots that read up on procedures to fly a 737 (inc the FAA AD), read official Boeing documents and ask them how they were trained? I think that the surviving (currently quiet) crew would be the ones I would want to ask - anyone else is assuming lots of things.
As stated I am not a pilot but a LAME.
It is clear the pilots did not do what was needed when needed within the available conditions including limited height. But that should not have lead to a fatal crash.
Do we know who was doing the take off - Captain or F/O?
If it was the Captain should he have handed over to the FO, if so how long would you expect that decision to take?
