All the talk about rotation angle is irrelevent if the engines delay into spooling up to provide the required thrust, which is strongly indicated in this event.

Which brings about the answer we are waiting for: why did they attempt a GA if the engines were already at idle, i.e. flare? Given all the sources of definitive information are available I'm going to wait for the definitive answer.
