Lessons learned are what's important
What is important are the lessons learned!
Conclusions by a party are not important albeit when the party is depended on by the public to take a stance it is disapointing to the public. After all it's a point of closure in their minds.
On the other hand a conclusion may be detrimental to others who disagree to the point where they walk away completely from the lessons learned.
Never have I seen an investigation where we actually believe more than 90% of what we think we know. It's the unknowns that bother us until we know. In the meantime we work with what we've got and know we know and develop our lessons learned from that.
I tend to read the final reports for issues and recommedations rather than conclusions.
