Understand your POV and agree.

The "wandering into philosophy" is, however, necessary though less necessary (in my opinion) in the THY accident than others.

In other words, this is a recognition of broader factors in terms of antecedents and not a transfer of cause.

Put another way, if we remain stuck in the cockpit and don't examine antecedents (in terms of training, safety culture etc), then change is not possible because, unless there is a special case of capability (Colgan case) or "rogue pilot", the process of the identification of cause may stop at the "symptom" level.

I don't see PE_3721 disagreeing with your view, - a view with which I strongly agree. For reasons given, his post is, in this approach, well worth reading along with the links provided, as is Oakape's excellent and succinct contribution.
