Take out all the garbage and questionable decisions and boil it down to a simple reality. He chose to bust his minimums....
That may be the simple reality but it's also a simplistic analysis.
The question is
why did he chose to bust his minimums. To pretend that there was no context to his decision making process is either deliberately ingenuous or naive.
There's a reason why, for example, there is a sterile cockpit rule. Because context matters. Environmental factors influence decision making. That's always the case. The purpose of the sterile cockpit rule is to create an environment where pilots can make better decisions.
To what extent those environmental factors influenced this particular crash I'll let others decide. But to say that those factors are not even open for discussion is an act of intellectual blindness.
