Seems to me there are two viewpoints.
Those who have made up their minds that the crews were grossly negligent, based on the incomplete evidence found .

Spot the difference?
Thud,
Correct. JP does seem to gloss over the bits he doesn't like. For example, he still hasn't answered my question on how he knows what the crews were thinking (in my opinion possibly the most blatant piece of subjectivity to be so far proffered as fact on this entire thread).
JP (I see you soon came back

You earlier made a point about the option to slow down or come down to a hover. Assuming that the crew DID slow down (which is entirely possible in view of the yachtsman's evidence), and then for some reason rapidly accelerated again at the maximum rate the aircraft was capable of, what effect do you estimate this would have on the AVERAGE speed of the leg flown, as estimated later?
