Jp, hello again.
You wrote:
But I was under the impression that you (and others) believed that the aircraft carried on from waypoint change straight into the hillside, ie the controls (all of them!!) had locked solid.
Your impression is wrong.
I have not postulated that the aircraft did any of the things you state. It is not for any of us to SPECULATE, but to rely on FACTS to support whichever argument.
Tandemrotor's post illustrates my views well.
My only thrust is that there is no EVIDENCE with which to find the pilots guilty of gross negligence, therefore they should be exonerated. Show me such EVIDENCE and I will agree with you.
But, remember that absence of evidence is NOT evidence of absence, ar anything else.
