To speculate or not?

Speculation is best confined to investing. One poster says we learn from speculating, another says those who do speculate offend family & friends of accident victims.

From personal experience I believe speculation by contributors to this forum, in regard to aircraft accidents, serves no useful purpose. Investigators will, in most cases, determine what caused an accident or incident. When their findings are published is the time for "learning".

Those reading these forums have to accept that much of what is contributed can come from ill-informed people, many whom have no knowledge of matters aviation in general and probably are not qualified to offer an opinion. We can all learn something each day but what we learn needs to be accurate and not mere speculation.

RIP those lost.
