The point I was making 411A is that the photo of the aircraft is a photo of an outcome, the end of a process. It is singularly inappropriate to judge culpability by the outcome. It may appear reasonable to do so, but it just ain't so. (You quickly end up in a position where the worse the outcome, the more the culpability ...).

Even in your response where you say I make a "good point" you quickly revert to the attribution of crew error with implicit backwards reasoning along the lines of:

- Bad things happened,
- The captain's responsibility is not to have bad things happen,
- Therefore, pilot error
