BEA were hobbled after the memo they released that AIRBUS used to proclaim "There is nothing new to suggest any mechanical malfunction on the aircraft..."
That colored the reports, and prevented BEA from countering AIRBUS later.
Airbus have the full record, the complete CVR, DFDR etc. yet you are to suggest they do not control the outcome? Only BEA have also the records. The ones who do not disclose, create no more havoc than those who allow the suppression of information....satisfaction short of all the information is the sign of a partisan, a benefactor, even.
From CONFiture
"Most probably - But the limit of efficacity for the elevators alone is reached earlier, and the stall cannot develop in such a pronounced way."
My proposal is that the THS prevented a STALL, allowing entry into what can best be described as a MUSH.... Whatever you call it, it bore no resemblance to a normal STALL. Further confusing the pilots....
