Why do you focus on that and not many other possibilities for distraction - cognitive overload, lack of sleep, an injury, other distractions in the cockpit, etc.

Why shouldn't I focus on those? I guess just by asking the question you haven't quite shown why your guess are better. I guess I don't how lack of sleep is a better explainer than, I don't know, a family member dying?

I guess which one would the investigator be able to figure out? They can read the obituary of the grandmother but how would they figure she didn't sleep well the night before.

  • I'm not guessing one or the other; I don't see why anyone would.

    For evidence, they could ask people who know the pilot, review personal data, etc.

      Well you just did above:

      Yeah it could be all of those and we should wait for investigation. But seems my particular guess bothered you for some reason and you suggested better guess, and I am just wondering what about my guess bothered you.

      I can see if you just say "ok, let's not guess and wait for the investigation", I can agree with that.
