You might want to acquaint yourself with the use of probabilistic qualifiers such as "likely". I did not say that it is "at 34S", rather I offered a range of latitudes that I thought the wreckage was likely to be found in. That range is based on the oceanography associated with the recovered wreckage.

When the wreckage is found hopefully then we'll be able to determine the flightpath. Trying to determine a flightpath from the vanishingly small dataset derived from the Inmarsat satellite connections is fraught with problems. There was always some conjecture as to the aircraft's actual flight path only an hour or so after the turnback at IGARI; even that level of uncertainty so early in the flight makes the whole route determination task highly problematic.
