Vette's theory is highly speculative. It's a big leap of faith to use this to explain away a CFIT
Of course any theory is an assumption not verifiable by fact, since there are no observers, or evidence such as film. All you can deduce is probability. If some one were to claim suicide, would that stand as a reasonably probable explanation? Has happened previously (767, 737), in my book a ridiculous proposition of course, but how does one go about proving in absolute terms that it wasn't?

Suggest you have a reread of the opinions of Captain Briska USN Chief Opthalmologist & Flight Surgeon, Captain Grinsburg expert on illusory phenomena Ph.D Cambridge, Mr. Green Psychologist specialist in flight skills and visual illusion who is a consultant to the RAF, Mr. Shannon Vice President Operations Bradley Air Services who was experienced in Antartica operations.

Can you come up with an alternative suggestion/s to the theories propounded by the above gentlemen?
