Thinking about it differently is that that 'leak' was a direct response to the discussion on Abnormal Attitude Law in this thread. i don'k understand why the BEA report appears to present many gaps in the information, an ambiguous cronology and that some of the details are glossed over. Does this mean that. transparent investigation is unlikely.
For whatever reason the "leak" occurred, it helped clarify the direction that the discussion needed to progress. To me, it was a kindness that a busy group of people (BEA) let slip into the media to keep us duffers better up to speed and more realistic in our thought processes.
I can fully understanding that while they (BEA) are themselves debating the import of various pieces of data, they would not want to stop the process to battle rumors in the press. As discussed here previously, the examination of data and fitting it into a context of the event is rigorous.
Anyone who has done data reduction would know this inherently.
