I have the distinct feeling that everyone is trying to read too much into the 'reported transcript' of the CVR.

Why? Because even with the short phrases that are being debated, the intonation has been lost in the transcription, and the BEA had the advantage in hearing the intonation and being able to help by adding 'linkage words' that weren't necessarily there. Let's face it, the ambient cockpit sound in which the words were spoken will have impacted on how the transcript was presented in the French language.

One can only but hope that the translation from French into English was peer reviewed using the same background knowledge - but probably not; and the reason for this debate.
