Noteworthy that neither dismissed out-of-hand the potential for "absolute loss of cockpit software"
A second, very short, story this week, perhaps late Wednesday, basically said "F-22's landed safely in Hawaii. Tiger team (contractor assist group) met them there. Planes now flying."
Which, pretty much, confirms something went wrong on the flight, but it got fixed.
And I'm sure the USAF doesn't want anybody else talking about their embarrassment.

I have a very good friend who is a Project Manager for a subcontractor for the F-22. They make aft booms, engine bay doors, bulkheads and side of body panels. She was quite gratified that it wasn't one of her babies that failed.
