I'm not sure finding what happened to the vane is on the critical path. Yes it failed and everything else resulted from this failure, but this a part that is known to fail infrequently. As such a failure should not lead to 360 families losing loved ones, it's a failure that should create a small degradation that can be handled by the pilots and automatics. Things fail all the time on aircraft, and multiple safety systems make sure nothing catastrophic happens.
