Relating to MoT report

Critique the MoT report? Well...memories evidently are short (though the thread is not).....not long ago posters with experience and credentials to deserve respect for their knowledge derided or at least downplayed questions as to whether the 30-day timeline would be met (that is, the ICAO Annex 13 timeline for prelim reports). Some posters even questioned whether such a report even was indicated (or, required) in the first place - standing on the perception that the "Contact Lost" incident of MH370 might turn out to have been a deliberate act and hence not an investigatory context as an Annex 13 enquiry nominally would be.
So MoT, working under a paradigm of incident not previously defined, specifically one defying logic- and technical-based analysis, hews to the Annex 13 process with material and substantial adherence thereto ..... in other words, they complied, substantially, given the ungodly unique factual knowns AND unknowns.
Shoot the scope and depth of the report full of holes if you enjoy the exercise, but I'll wager that the higher-level authorities (especially AAIB and NTSB) are in synch with how the Malaysian MoT has proceeded relative to the reporting process.
