Understood. I take the leaks with a big pinch of salt.
I am wondering what is theoretically possible to determine conclusively whenever the final report is made. Some incidents of dual inputs have been made on "the balance of probability", and not all parties agreed to the conclusions. In the case of AF447, the FDR showed in black and white there were dual (and opposing) inputs, which is possible to see because of FBW controls.
It seems to me that in 737 the control surface deflection can be recorded, but not individual control column movement which would definitively show conflict of elevator command.
