The problem is, the father could point to that recording and say
'see, he did that on the previous flight, the a/p altitude knob was something he always played with when the other crew member was out of the cockpit'
and try to use it as proof the son never intentionally crashed the aircraft because in the previous flight, the turning to 100 feet had made no difference; unfortunately - so is the probable reasoning of Lubitz Senior - on the return flight his son became incapacitated after he had adjusted the altitude to 100 feet, hence the plane crashed.
The fact that he wasn't incapacitated enough to stop continually modifying the target airspeed over the next 4 minutes hasn't yet registered with this ill-informed and crassly insensitive father - but I can live in hope that he eventually reads this and understands how much anger he is causing families of the victims by his refusal to accept the truth.
