There is NO verification that any data was sent after 1:07 am so quit speculating.

It's not me reporting it, it's the WSJ. Reading comprehension!.

Your example of programability is for one of the crucial data sets that are looked at... take off, climb, approach, landing.

The WSJ has been denied by Malaysian authorities and Rolls said its last bit of data was received at 1:07am shortly after the last voice contact. Boeing has not commented.
