Quite right. Without putting too fine a point on this, the evidence that is discussed is only that which allows the "seated" theory. It is never correct to eliminate from a report exculpatory evidence. The halo around the reports emanates from conclusion first, correct evidence later.
At the very least, consider the Vertical Stabilizer. Mounted in the fuselage similarly to AA587, no lesson was learned about sequestered stress. Three hard points to support the V/S/Rudder when each of these two failed fins show that the Rudder is mounted in a way that spreads stress, keeping it attached while the Fin blows off. Vertical take up arm (only one) failed in the vertical; the seven attachments of the Rudder were undisturbed, and that in the Plane not addressed by the axis' architecture.
As a last proposal, consider the damage done, the autopsies, the ACARS and try to prove the aircraft didn't impact inverted. No matter how hard the reports try to soften the culpability of the a/c, it should make little difference. The important events happened some time well before ACARS came alive. In other words, by the time ACARS reported the tip of the cascade, the A/C was lost.
