.. why have we assumed from day one that the pitots are the culprit ?
Something to do with the pitot bore size and facing the direction of travel, as opposed to the static ports, very large bore in comparison and open to the side.

Nothing is impossible, and maybe the Thales pitot probes are not the problem after-all. They just happened to be fitted to a/c that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
