There is as you say no "evidence" because the interim report doesn't include the flightplan or identify the waypoint concerned but if you mean simple duplication wasn't the scenario then I'd agree we can probably discount that. If you are saying that duplication played no part in this then you are saying the report is false. If so it would be interesting to speculate what they have to gain by fabricating a fictional error chain rather than the actual one.
That one’s easy - covering up incompetence/mismanagement, hypothetically, atm.
