"Because the findings of the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the cause of the disaster were limited in scope, being legally an opinion and not a statement of fact, they could not be appealed in legal terms, unlike the Office of Air Accident investigation report, which remains the sole official account---and has never been officially challenged."
Please read and inwardly digest.
Also look at the finding of Judge H Greene, District Court USA. when the blame was tried to be foisted on the Controllers at McMurdo.
" The Court concluded that the disaster was the fault of both Air New Zealand and the FLIGHT CREW, and that the US Navy controllers bore no responsibility. The case was dismissed and, being delivered entirely on facts was not appealed."
How many of Mahons peers have to disagree with his findings before it is accepted he stuffed up.
In some parts of his findings.
