So...correct me if I'm going too far...what we have here is the uncomfortable possibility that - owing to a dicky WOW indicator - a perfectly functional RAT probe was disconnected, along with the TOWS, leading to the loss of the aircraft?
Errrr....
If the Flaps were not set for takeoff, I am afraid there it is probably SOPs / Human Factors that led to the loss of the aircraft.
Things like TOWS are backstops that ideally should work, but it is difficult to attribute the (primary) cause of the accident to the TOWS not working. IMHO. A bit like blaming a faulty airbag for a road accident fatility... it would be better to avoid the accicent in the first place.
