Interesting idea - the kind of mistake that's more likely when pilots are fatigued, (it's quite a deliberate effort to actually go past Flap 15 thanks to Mr Boeing's go-around flap notches, but of course the muscle memory is quite adept at moving flaps from 30/40 to 0 after landing). Add a bit of negative sheer at the wrong time and that could do it. Anyway, pure speculation for now - hopefully the FDR will yield some answers soon.
