For Heaven's sake! All these pages and pages unlikely, unfeasible and fanciful speculation proposed as going wrong with the pilot, just like all the unlikely, unfeasible and fanciful failures that were predicted in the aeroplane before it was (surprise surprise) found serviceable! (pedants, a slightly lagging altimeter and timexed fuel seals or whatever don't make it u/s enough to cause a crash)
Surely the most likely scenario by far is that the poor beggar just made a mistake, screwed up, misjudged, cocked up as humans so often do. Who suggests psychological events, confusion with a different machine (the daftest excuse of all, imo) or an automotive equivalent of g-loc when there's a car crash? Never! Driver error, that's it. Is this really likely to be much different?
edit. Experience and recency on type is very possibly a causal factor.
