I read it, that is misuse of the accident reporting system. A similar reasoning was used to get rid of the crappy helo helmets in the Corps. Tied to every fatal accident, whether there was a head left in them or not. It is an abuse of the process, and leads one to wonder about the objectivity of the investigator in the rest of the report.
If the system sucks that bad, get rid of it another way. The fact is this crew expected a 7000 ft cig, got a 700 and didn't do shit in the interim. No clue what they were doing in there, but it could only have rhymed with aviating.
