Surely all of the above can be true?
No it can't. Maybe this will help you understand.
Was the aircraft airworthy………No
Did the pilot screw up……………Maybe if he was cognitively alert; but not if he was suffering a physiological episode

It's an assumption that their was no link. We just don't know.
No bloods were tested post accident, so we don't even know if a possible physiological event was generated by the many undocumented and hidden faults of the machine.
I would really like the in-cockpit GoPros to be released. They would be telling. Until then, lazy assumptions, blame culture and emotion will prevail.
As stated before, do I 'think' he screwed up - I vehemently did. After watching the evidence in court, it convincingly opened my mind that the pilot's cognitive function wasn't right: 'the lights were on but no-one was at home'.
