I am afraid not sunnyjohn.
It is a handling factor but not the reason for the accident.
Even with the tech issue it should be within the ability's of a professional pilot to deal with it. In fact the crew had already dealt with it 2 times previously.
The cause of the accident was the crew placing the aircraft in a position and then mishandling the aircraft.
Most western pro pilots reading the report and seeing the busting of mins, two people putting primary control inputs in at the same time will see this as a recipe for an accident. The engine tech issue is a factor but not the cause of the accident. To be honest in the grand scope of things most Garret pilots would consider a lag and differences between the engines as normal.
