OK. Let's assume you are right. But, why publish transcripts that
1. Have some mis-matching phrases from the previous transcripts (they are shifted in time) and not provide explanations
2. Remove timings from critical parts of it:

8.40.42 TAWS: TERRAIN AHEAD
8.40.44 Głos w kabinie: Nic nie widać.
TAWS: TERRAIN AHEAD
8.40.45 1 Pilot: Odchodzimy na drugie zajście.
Nawigator: Sto. Dziewięćdziesiąt.
TAWS: PULL UP
8.40.46 2 Pilot: Odchodzimy.
Nawigator: Osiemdziesiąt, siedemdziesiąt.
8.40.47 Nawigator: Osiemdziesiąt, siedemdziesiąt. Sześćdziesiąt, pięćdziesiąt.
TAWS: PULL UP
8.40.48 ATC: Horyzont 101.
8.40.49 Nawigator: Czterdzieści.

At the very least it's completely unprofessional. If we are talking about transcribing a single recording, how do you know what time is one phrase spoken and with the one presented next, you don't? Mismatching absolute time, OK, mismatching it with some ATC recordings timings, fine but can be corrected by aligning the two, misalignment with Flight Data Recorder – corrected by RF keying record.

But, how do you mismatch timing within a single recording? This is supposed to be serious business, you know, with certain parties now claiming the Russians murdered the Polish President, and the rest claiming Russians bear a lot of responsibility. If Russians didn't see us as complete idiots already, declarations like that could be seen as a sort of declaration of war, or something. Why do you get angry at me supposedly misrepresenting things, but don't seem to have a problem with unprofessional info being presented which is then used to come up with the "Russians sabotaged the plane and led us into a trap" accusations?

How do you think such unprofessional work being released will look? Why release such unprofessional work? Why do little until Russians release their report by surprise that crashed the hopes in Poland on agreeing on common report, politically correct to both sides. Why suddenly fall into this madness of releasing bits and pieces of often contradictory info. Do you like this mess?
