Evil, the available/released facts would seem to support your statement. However there may be facts as yet undiscovered. Rumsfords Unknown knowns or whatever!
You should realise that the closer people on this thread were to the PIC and/or the type of operation, the harder it is for them to accept the kind of statement you made in post #83.
Logic would dictate the story is most likely more complicated than that.
I would be mindful of peoples sense of decency and compassion. In particular the Hill of Hindsight is no place to grandstand unless you are of course perfect and without potential fault. For example, despite many years of experience in several different operating environments, I never really digested the difference between thermistor/capacitance detectors and the vital role they play in the indicating, caution and warning systems until this accident brought them to light. I suspect the PIC was similarly indisposed but that is just an opinion.
