...it has been conclusively shown that the fuel metering valves moved to the full open position but there was no fuel to move through them. Since the valves opened, how could it be a software problem?

Looking at hypothetical software problems, could the fact that the position sensors indicated and recorded the valves fully open not be part of it?
Wouldn't the software which moves the fuel metering valves be different from the flight recorder software which monitors the valve position? Surely they are independent. Is there someone here who can answer that?
