It's not disagreement over the systems behaviour, it's a group of people who know the systems and are willing to stick to the facts as presented versus a group of people who may know the systems, but are bending every bit of minutae of that knowledge to advance their agenda that the aircraft (and consequently the manufacturer) must somehow be completely to blame.
Quite how this seemingly endless reservoir of venom towards Airbus and the BEA came about I'm not entirely sure...
