ATSB cut & paste AAI: Pictures worth a thousand words?

As an addendum to my last -  

LB said: "...What if your assumptions, possible explanations and known unknowns turned out to show substantial differences between the two incidents? Frankly, the latter approach is the one that ATSB should take, rather than jump to a conclusion then find as much stuff to support that conclusion, even if it means making assumptions that may be invalid and positing explanations that could be wrong..."

Keeping in mind the (nailed it) LB statement, let us now take the FGD pictorial offering (coupled with his/her skewed opinion/review of the similarities in the two accidents) and compare to the NTSB evidential documentation and investigation pictures...

Spot the differences?

Hmm...that rudder and elevator trim IMO is pretty damn obvious - as for the rudder boost...err no comment -

Finally the following is a copy of the FAA pilot interview record:
