When the top officials resign in Malaysia will the hostages be returned?
And then all the signals will be wrote off as “seismic anomalies” or a complicated event of hurriedly air delivered short term black box “simulators” that were placed by persons unknown.
You are correct. Moot. A word with a meaning directly opposite to how it is frequently used. According to the Oxford English Dictionary:
ADJECTIVE
1 Subject to debate, dispute, or uncertainty, and typically not admitting of a final decision:
whether the temperature rise was mainly due to the greenhouse effect was a moot point
This agreement seems similar to that signed with Egypt re: EgyptAir990. The Aussies are perceived as friendly to Malaysia and China and they’ll likely source the Brit equivalent of the NTSB anyway, who the Malaysians are agreeable to(having dissed the NTSB early in the game).
The Moosefolk community are in the same state of mind as in 1999; They know it’s their guys but they’ll never admit it on their own.

The third one [not on the map] for the current search area where the 811 Arc intersects the S20 Parallel would have meant that the plane was travelling the last five hours @350 knots along a path about 300 miles shorter more to the east and closer to friendlier ditchable waters near Australia with fuel still in the tank.
