You are being very adamant about this thing but I'm struggling to pick up the substance of your argument.
Go over to 747Focal's thread on Tech Log and read the official (albeit French) report.
The crew did just what I would expect. The No 2 engine had to be switched off. The captain called for fire drill. There was no argument. Maybe the Flight Engineer made the decision but it was exactly what the captain was going to call for anyway.
The plane was maintaining height and 200 kts for quite a while. Then it crashed. So far I have to agree with the report - physical damage caused the control system(s) to start to fail. It didn't need much given the extreme nature of the situation.
Now tell me what the crew did wrong.
If this is all true then the documentary was correct to paint the picture it did.
The moment the DC10 rubbing strip fell onto the runway, the fate of all those people was sealed.
The documentary just looked out how the final drama was played out. There was little else to add.
