May one guess that the CVR was not pulled - due to them being far from dest? So we'll never know what the crews actually heard. Only that could narrow down the cause.
Better to be talking about this than a prang. For both FC to pick up the wrong side of the TX is a VERY unusual circumstance. So unusual that it may not happen again for a significant time. Given the news, it will help everyone to think about it. Thus, a good outcome.
