Mahon omitted any further reference to Mr Shannon's views, because they didn't suit.
If you had continued reading para.169 on page 70, you will find your statement incorrect.
.“Mr Shannon was not very interested in the cross – talk which was taking place behind the pilots. He said he drew the conclusion that neither the pilot nor the co-pilot entertained the slightest apprehension at any stage, and he drew the further conclusion that each of them was perfectly satisfied as to the course and position of the aircraft.”
Would that be because the crew thought they were flying over the flat, safe waters of McMurdo Sound? Absolutely it would.

I understand and disagree with the findings.
So did Air NZ and the Muldoon government and in a democracy, this is a basic human right known as freedom of speech. However, you have other people in the community that understand and AGREE with those findings. Are they not entitled to the same right of freedom of speech?
Nothing is going to change. This debate (I use that term loosely) will possibly go on for another forty years and no amount of postulation will convince either party they are wrong.
