I agree, cows getting bigger.

Of course the PRIMARY NTSB recommendation will be something like:
"It is emphasized that aircrews must always monitor airspeed while flying, and always be ready to intervene in the AP system when necessary."

To me, as a pilot, this means that I will not learn anything from this crash. I have said about the same thing after the Turkish crash here in AMS.
Monitoring your airspeed -as a pilot- is sooooo basic, that it is unbelievable that there are people in a cockpit "flying" without watching their instruments! And simply letting it happen....

And then there are other symptoms/causes/contributing factors/etc. that others will learn something from. Sure, and this is also very noteworthy and necessary to investigate. But it will not have any direct influence on the way I fly airplanes.
