The only fly in the ointment is Inmarsat's statement that their interpretation was validated by comparison with data from other flights pinging the same satellite.
Two points raised

- the reassessment is based on assumptions that appeared to be correct because of one match which could be coincidental.

- the entire discussion justifies the encoding of ULBs so that their identity is known. If the ULB signals that were received had been encoded as MH370 airframe identity this entire discussion would be moot.
