Yeah. Coroners who know nothing about aeroplanes can come up with surprising conclusions. Like the evidence provided at a Coroners inquiry in NSW a few years back about several very significant unserviceabilities in a crashed aircraft that killed pilot and passenger. The aircraft was 17 years old (twin freighter), and the Coroner dismissed the defects as "to be expected in an old aircraft, like an old car". Brilliant logic but worrying for future accidents where defects were a conributory cause.
