As already pointed out the one thing no SI, investigation or CM can have work out correctly is the level of stress how people's thoughts processes work in that environment. The actions that day were those of two very frightened pilots trying to recover the aircraft. I dare say the lack of Airbus 330 experience is a major factor in some of their reasoning.
While we can fault their actions from the outside, none of us were in thier shoes at the time.
