You are like a broken record:

Can't schedule fuel to the injun when there ain't any in the tanks
It takes a while to conjure up the necessary technical gobbledegook type spin to pad out a 1000 page report document which finally comes to the conclusion it was outa gas.
The ultimate update - it was outa gas!
Notwithstanding the B777 fuel system having been rebuilt several times over, the odds are still, it ran outa gas
know this is a long shot, but, perhaps, maybe, possibly, or just bloody factual that significant aeration and cavitation of all the fuel pumps almost simultaneously could possibly maybe that the thing was OUTA GAS?
Yet the AAIB report clearly says:

The total fuel
on board was indicating 10,500 kg, which was distributed
almost equally between the left and right main fuel tanks,
with a minor imbalance of about 300 kg
A significant amount of fuel leaked from
the aircraft after it came to rest
