GY,
I absolutely see your point. The problem is in trying to make narrow what is a very wide cascade. Besides, we do not know that a simple mechanical malfunction of the flight computer didn't start the ball rolling. The weather itself, by most accounts, was not sufficiently fierce to have been necessarily the cause of upset. By upset, I mean a sufficient encounter to cause auto to be lost. To, it is seemingly benign enough to cause many here to comment on the less than skillful effects of its handling.
Divert? How far? I thought "flying into a cell" had been discarded... And if they did not blunder into the cell, how did turbulence cause this accident? Are you saying that it was not "ICE"? BEA issued its favorite (and only) theory long ago. The likelihood that some glitch, heretofore unexplained, will be announced is zero, pet theories get discarded in the final, virtually never.
