Use of ADSB information in crash investigation

A sensitive topic on PPrune...

We are, for the better or the worse, seeing more and more use of ADSB information in recent crashes "pre-investigations", shall I say.

Clearly this approach is hugely unpopular with the community. However, both in the case of the recent MyCargo crash and the LaMia Flight 2933 accident it turned out that the initial conclusions gathered out of ADSB recordings gave a fairly decent picture of what happened.

With the increase in the quality and density of coverage (including recent developments from Aireon) shouldn't we have a more open minded attitude towards this line of inquiry ? Of course people will come up with wild, unsubstantiated theories. Yet, I think there is also valid material here.

Thoughts ?
