widebody and lomapaseo, if the preliminary read of the FDR had indicated unreliable air speed perhaps associated with pitot failure, would Airbus (or Boeing or Dassault) have sent out the telex phrased as Airbus did?
I realize that you may not know the answer to that question, but I would assume such telexes are supposed to convey the totality of the information obtained from the reading of the FDR, not just any 'new' information that was not previously covered by an antecedent telex.
As I said before, knowledge of a negative can itself be knowledge, and from such, people, like reporters for Figaro, start drawing inferences.
