Only problem with that theory - the data recorders showed the nosewheel switch toggling between ground and air mode on rotation. So the nosewheel at least knew the plane was on the ground
Unfortunately, there is also a possibility that a faulty WOW switching device MIGHT have resolved itself during the TO roll?

As they say, the devil is in the details and we simply may never know. There is a need for more information but given the condition of the wreckage, there might just not be more data available.
