Alignment of Sea-bed Debris Field versus Heading at Sea-level Impact

Quotes from Mr Optimistic:
Is it a coincidence that in its basic form it reflects the geometry of the original structure ?
...Is everyone so sure that the orientation of the debris doesn't give more information ? If the fwd and aft ends of the a/c are subsequently found at either end of the debris trail, it would be a clincher wouldn't it... ...?

At risk of looking foolish all over again (my back is broad), I shall merely say that I notice a degree of hesitance (wouldn't go quite as far as to say inconsistency) in some of the analyses on this subject.

Sometimes, what is staring you in the face can be dismissed as just too simple to be true. I still wonder.
