Well, in defense of all the speculators.....this crash seems to be much more complicated and mysterious than that straightforward cockup. And, of course, the 'extra' FBW dimensions of this airplane and situation add many layers to speculate about!
Besides (I would argue as devil's advocate), It's a very long wait for a resolution, over three years, and I think ppl are tempted to furnish their own "resolutions." Inquiring minds want to know, or else just make s*** up!
This crash raises all sorts of questions and fears about the long-simmering Airbus control issues/debate, and gives the multitudes all kinds of fodder to discuss that. Stop me if I am making sense.
But yeah...."flaps"??? C'mon, get real!
