In turn, without pressing for detail into your decision making protocol, Canadian, I can reel off a list of tragedies which had man "inputs" all of which were applied to an initial false presumption of hostile intent; KAL 007 "ignored" over 100 warning shots which it probablly never saw then a planned flight level change was interpreted as an evasive action. USS Vincennes downed an innocent Iran Air flight because ( as well as a string of other Navy blunders)it "ignored" UHF radio calls which it could never have received, whole inputs which demonstrated its innocence, such as its increasing altitude were discarded.
I appreciate there are differences here but we certainly see the same presumption of hostility which is not removed even by complete resumption of comms and normal operations
