I'm not sure there is a role as devils advocate to play. The facts speak for themselves. If you have a seat in the cockpit then you should be damn well sure you know what you're doing. Landing an airliner on a gin clear day from a visual approach would have to be number one on the list of responsibilities of being a pilot. If you are PIC monitoring someone making a hash of it, it's your responsibility to fix it. Let's not understate this, it was a c*ck up of monumental proportions and a failure in responsibility to the passengers above all.
These guys will cop it from all sides over the next decade but let's move on from that. Let's not adopt the apologists tone looking for excuses. What the investigation seems to have uncovered is that there still exist pockets of resistance to safety culture, airmanship, and CRM.
