I think the ultimate informed theory will benefit from "unwinding" the evidentiary trail, in "backwards" fashion. Instead of the "body" of evidence informing the upset, it will be the upset directing the results. If the "upset" is based only on informed possibilities, it would not be the first time.
When confronted by an horrific event, it is in the nature of humankind to demand an explanation. Eventually the boxes will be found. My guess is that the data they contain will put a fine point on something offered before, perhaps even an initial
PR release: "Fortes Turbulences".
"Fortes Turbulences" is
by definition the cause, regardless of posits here and elsewhere, correct? The a/c stopped flying. From a general conclusion of upset (what else) every other surmise flows inevitably.
It is informative to nitpick at every informed piece of knowledge, but the fact remains most of the evidence and discussion is
proprietary. To the extent that the authority can "embrace" data, the conclusion is of necessity closed.
No conflict should exist between the Public's demand for openness and the authority's command of the data. Yet there is one.
