A lot of pilots here, presumably with various degrees of experience in various roles, have read the CVR transcript and have arrived at various understandings of what was meant by what was said. This is the problem. I recall very early in the discussion here, it was reported, I think in the context of what is good CRM, that an ex-military pilot was overheard to say, when I press the mic I just want everybody to understand what I say.
I think @helicrazi has made an astute observation that confusion is exactly how they thought they were absolutely correct.
