Keep in mind that this is an Interim Report and will only relay the facts as the Investigation Authority is aware of. Any discussion of the crews response to the A/T behaviour will be more appropriate in the final report which will probably be released in 2011 at the earliest. Even the statement "The autothrottle system should have maintained the speed selected by the crew" is more analysis than factual information and could have been left out.
On another point, all the Virtual Airline pilots out there-get a reality check. Your world is not the real world of aviation and despite the advances of computer technology never will be.
Maybe the Moderators could start a Forum called Virtual Pilots Rumour Network.
