Why would he? If he'd been told, he would have been told of the new waypoint and conducted his flight in exactly the same way.
Suppose TE901s changed track was not as a result of the Navigation section, but of the crew wrongly entering the single digital manually into the INS (as they did for these flights). It easily could've happened. Would you then still blame the accident on that one single factor?
