BEA and applied psychology

Remember when the BEA announced that the AF447 debris field had been located in the Abyssal Plain and its exact position would not be released?

Well accompanying that press release was a graphic with the a very large arrow pointing to a position near the eastern side of the Abyssal Plain, and the end point on that arrow actually marked the true position of the debris field.

Machaca made a composite graphic at the time using a BEA graphic, previously modified by me, overlaid with the latest one from the BEA.

It would appear that a much practiced form of applied psychology was inherent in that press release. One would have to wonder who was teaching who - Osama Bin Laden or the BEA?? If that was not meant to be the case, then apologies to the graphic artist who has without doubt by now lost his/her job.
