Remember, I'm a non-pilot...
Understand, and in that case it is best to suspend judgement of all matters until the official investigation is complete and the report issued.
Those who do not fly or do not fly professionally need to respect the level of conversation going on here and should not attempt guesses or come to conclusions. There are many professional crews, many who are on Airbus aircraft here, who are using very technical expressions and a lot of experience to discuss aircraft behaviours in many circumstances. It is not possible to explain details because in many aspects of this discussion, one must live the experience - it cannot be told. The intent is not to "shut out" non-pilots or be arrogant about this - it is a plain fact that much of this hinges on knowledge that is gained through very long study and longer experience and that simply cannot be told in a few sentences to the satisfaction of non-pilots. This is not meant to be unkind or exclusive, this is meant to request patience and respect.
