That remains MY THEORY only.

The NTSB plighted their troth to the pilot rudder input theory at the last AA587 public hearing and now refuse to be swayed from that line (being the path of least resistance). Airbus also of course subscribe to the pilot error theory - because it fits their stance so well.

So in a system where the majority (of the major players) rules, nothing is going to change - notwithstanding any evidence, history, anecdotal reputation, expert opinion or cogent hypotheticals pointed elsewhere.

Of course having a DFDR that conveniently produced nothing useful (by way of telling data) also helped.
