I must say that one of my beefs with a typical ATSB statement is the over-use of the term "is consistent with".
Ex: A smoking hole was discovered in the ground which was consistent with witness reports of an aircraft in a vertical dive.
CAVOK was forecast which is consistent with a witness report there was no cloud in the area.
Shortly after take off the captain threw up all over his first officer which is consistent with witness reports that he had been pissed as a newt that night.
