Most likely after more detail from the NTSB is released, such a judgment could be made.

Let us suppose that your point is true, and "the pilots screwed up" is a finding. You still need to know why. The root causes of human error, understanding it, and mitigating it is how aviation safety gets improved.

Where do you think CRM came from? Necessity, and finding out "why" an error was made.
