I'm not sure that an NTSB typo really should call into question the rest of the story -- however, I DO think that ALL the facts need to be determined BEFORE someone starts trying to build a case in any particular direction; and I would wager there are at least some who are trying to do just that. The problem is, for us who are interested but not connected, trying to determine if a specific "fact" is truly a fact or something placed in that light to lead us interested but not connected persons to come to a conclusion desired by an interested AND connected party.

It's like the song in the musical "Mary Poppins," ("...a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down...") Para-phrasing, a spoonful of truth helps the not-so-true get swallowed. Watch carefully. Read carefully. Accept little if anything on face value. Been there; Done that; Had the experience of having otherwise well meaning people try to force sugar-coated "non-facts" down my throat despite my loud protestations.
