So far, though, the evidence/information points in the direction of the human factor not the aircraft. All else could be considered wishful thinking.
Just remember, we are outside the aircraft trying to look in to what must have happened. It is very different when you are in the aircraft, with limited and confusing displays, feeling unusual forces, and the aircraft isn't responding in a way you were trained for.
We have to remember that what seems so foolish to us outside observers might make perfect sense given the inside viewpoint. Try to put yourself in the others guy's shoes given the information he was given to act on. The results might surprise you.
If the aircraft had been able to keep its airspeed measurement systems going, none of this would have happened.
