The first thing one is taught as an ab initio pilot is, Airspeed is Everything. There is simply no plausible reason for professional airmen to lose airspeed and permit a perfectly serviceable airliner to stall on approach. An RA failure with downstream effects on the autothrust is secondary, just as a relay was in the Spanair MD82 at Madrid. Last time I looked, we still employed pilots, not monitors.
We don't have the DSB final report yet and as others have pointed out the FDR and CVR information is still unavailable. Nevertheless if this is how it is to be, then it is the DSB's credibility which is in question, not the credibility of Boeing.
