To be honest, I didn't expected more at this point from the BEA. They refrained to comment the facts. I'm feeling that they still have plenty to investigate before going further than those factual informations released. Such description is nonetheless useful rather than being left with those contradictory press leaks.
If they don't say what put the THS at this setting (where it was not until a while), it doesn't mean they don't have any idea about it but that it is not settled. They won't make any "guess". One may also suspect that if you are pitching up during a long time, the THS would also follow what you want, and if the pilot idea was to climb or to keep the nose up, then it may also have been settled thru the trim wheel.
For my part, what bother me particularly is that plenty of parameters are not recorded at all: only LH speed and stand-by, for example. This is not good if one want to fully understand this system logic.
