Yep BOAC, it is apparent even to me, re who knows WTF they're talking about and who doesn't! (I've learned a tremendous amount about flying the big jets by simply following these threads, thanks to all.)
I think that, given the complete lack of solid truth about this accident, toady we have gotten closer to The Truth in both threads (whatever that may be).
Clearly, it is much more complicated than either incompetent pilots versus evil software. Those firmly on one side or the other are talking out their, uh, patooties.
[A side note, if anyone is interested. I'm getting mysterious private messages from unknown parties that question me about misrepresenting who I really am. I don't know what the problem is, but I've apparently touched some nerves out there. It's rather unsettling to get these creepy accusations. Maybe they mistake my intelligence for some sort of sekrit piloting knowledge.
