I think your last point was the most apt in a post that I can only agree with.
In the race to place failing on the crew I do wonder what remaining value there is in a USAF mishap report. In examples such as this they make little or no effort to understand the failure, the dire situation faced by the crew or any curiosity as to why the aircraft systems were working against the crew. The input from Bombardier and RR seems minimal with no effort to resolve the apparent technical inconsistencies.
