My point was more about thinking through the implications of what little external structure has been found... whether it supports the BEAs view on the state of the a/c and mode of impact... re the spoiler which has been given little attention, understandably so perhaps.
Not qualified to comment on the aerodynamics, but you could get a good idea of force vector by looking at the remaining attachment points and or pivots, if you could find a high enough res photo. For example, hole elongation on a hinge point prior to pin shear.

Some of the attachment points looked fairly intact, iirc...
