I'm certain that in the judicial process the lawyers will not "give a damn" and this "urban legend" will popup again .. unless it's some BEA foot note in the final report explaining the "printing error"...
It is the work of lawyers and judges to analyze each word printed in all reports submitted to them
Do you REALLY understand what BEA's reports are meant for ?
The role of BEA's reports is purely a "technical" one : understanding the reasons of incidents/accidents to improve aviation safety.
It in NOT BEA's job to determine who is responsible for these incidents/accidents and to which exent.
In Court, judiciary experts having conducted their own inquiry will come with their own reports to establish (to cut it short) who, in the end, will pay.
The "
urban legend" will not "
pop up again" for the simple reason that BEA's "
interim" report #2 is alien to the judiciary procedure.
