I totally agree, and have no issue at all with the more extreme speculation being challenged and dismissed.
The reason I asked the question is because some people have also launched into - in my view - utterly ridiculous over the top moralising about any speculation at all, saying we must wait for the report, won't someone think of the families etc...
If this place is not about open discussion in these type of situations what is it for?
Crazy theories will be quickly dismissed, and others will be considered, helpful, and probably ultimately right on the money.
