not only inside information, also time to write long posts with several references to information published long ago... and carefully trying to drive the discussion away from certain issues... like why both crew fdr show just a blip on the manual electrical trim....
i think that understanding that blip will be a key on the investigation, however we (or I) do not even know if the FDR records directly the thumb switch or the signal is processed by the FCC before been transmitted to the FDR. Considering the latest setback due to processing failure, we might assume that the final seconds of the recording might not be accurate due to FCC micro processor failure, latency, delay....or can even speculate that the pilots were trying to manually electricaly trim butthe system was not responding to their commands.
furthermore, Mr. Yoko1 where on the checlk lists is stated not to retract flaps?
