but it's a fair bet that those on the scene do know and that these particular bits will help forward the investigation.

Amen to that.
That's the fullfillment of being on scene. Most of the questions raised in two days of posts here (and stilll unanswered) could be answered in an hour on scene
None of this discussion is going to solve this sad mystery in itself, but at least when we start talking about things that we can attempt to prove or disprove with available information we are using this forum more as it was intended as opposed to pushing out various personal theories that have no supporting facts.

Spot on, but it probably helps us to reject ignorant speculation from others that doesn't fit the little facts we can discern. Ask yourself how many times have we been asked by our friends if this or that they heard or read is true. Do we just brush them off even as friends or do we throw a fact or two at them to politely end their speculation.

One aspect of this I can't get over, and others have also noted, is how the debris seems to come from a very-low speed impact. Perhaps if your analysis bears truth it can ultimately be tied to why the debris is in the condition its in.
So far it only suggests that the pieces cited impacted the ocean in relatively free fall.
Most of the discussions in the last days have been about the tertiary events and understandably not about the missing links.
