Lemurian,
Notwithstanding
JD-EE's and
PJ2's slightly gloomy, if realistic, comment above, I think we should continue our speculative discussions right up to the eagerly-anticipated
dénouement. "Too many variables" and "too many unknowns" have not discouraged the PPRuNe population (
PJ2 included) from two years of almost uninterrupted proposals and counter-proposals.
Don't suppose I'm the only one to have learned an enormous amount from the fascinating and informative contributions of the many knowledgeable, intelligent forum-ites here (
bearfoil not excepted), and the cut and thrust of argument has always concentrated the mind.
At this stage, we have suddenly received a bigger
averse of data than anything since July 2009. It would be against the spirit of this forum for us to be overawed by the imminent prospect of a
déluge of data from the recorders. This promises to trash most of our cherished theories, but that does not necessarily discredit their validity as hypotheses. The post-result learning process will have more relevance and immediacy for us if we shall have kept pushing on to the very last.
Happy holiday,
PJ2!
