...and reconciling the numbers will not reverse the tragedy.

In fact, my personal opinion is that regardless of which numbers are actually true, the pilot had plenty experience in what he was doing. I honestly don't care whether that experience was 1000 hours or 2700 hours or some other number. It was not his inexperience in flying that caused the tragedy, but a mechanical defect.

Like DAR said, I'm very interested in the aerodynamics, flutter, oscillations and other factors that caused the trim tab to separate.
