Hah hah! You know, I just found myself thinking the same thing about me never agreeing with PCL-128 . . . but we see eye to eye on this one.
Frankly, once the NTSB report came out, I don't think the proximate cause of this accident is debatable. The only reason this thread even has any value it to try and teach some of the young turks that FATIGUE does not mean "Tired". It's a very real safety hazard, and current duty time / rest requirements do not treat it seriously.
Anyone who's done something stupid (ahem) while inadvertently flying fatigued will understand that fatigue really can sneak up on you and cause some unexpected and surprising errors that NEVER happen to a well rested, highly experienced and competent pilot.
Ignore it or marginalize it at your own peril . ..
