The whole thing is a "theory"....."my boy"....unless you want to go on record as stating that the NTSB-CIA cartoon was a FACT? Boeing doesn't think so. Neither does anyone else I've spoken to.

You also say, "as the aircraft traded altitude for speed."

Unfortunately, (for you) the radar data does not support this. There was NO trade off of altitude for airspeed. When the nose departed Fl800 stalled, and began it's decent. There is absolutely NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE to support the NTSB claims.

Well if these are opposing theories, "my boys," then let's do some scientific method and try some experiments in the dog-gone old wind tunnel,eh?

How hard can this be? We have almost the entire recovered airframe. Let's make a model of the aft section and see how it flies?

If there's a solid conclusion, seems like the rock solid bureaucrats at the NTSB should hop at the chance to prove themselves correct.

Boeing might do their own analysis, but then they've got a lot of gubbmint contracts....

How bout independent universities? An Aerospace Engineering grad student? Naw, too much gubbmint grant money involved.

That just leaves conspiracy theorists....ah never mind.

Well, until your boy, Captain Lahr, adds the tail aerodynamic forces to his little "theory" he is completely discredited and so are you if you rely on it.

This guy is apparently angling to write a book or lecture on the black helicopter circuit. I'm sure you and your fellow tinfoil acolytes will help supplement his income. You deserve each other.
