The only question that is valid: Why did he do it? I think, it's because he thought that you shouldn't touch that TL if there is something wrong with this engine. There is no other reasonable explanation for it.
The technical data is perfectly consistent and absolutly logical. This is not a technical reason, it is a CRM and a psychological reason. We have to concentrate on the human aspect (and its connection to cockpit technology) of this accident. Nothing else.
Exactly Dani,
I came to the same conclusion long time ago (re post #1027), but I had to recognize that pilots would rather have a technical discussion than considering human issues
