One of the reasons the report is long but not conclusive about
many issues is that it is report 1 of 2. The goal is to put out what
information is currently available and the preliminary conclusions,
then invite public comment and suggestions about additional
research/forensic avenues.
Take a look back at Chapter 4 of the report. They go into
fair detail about the immediate causes of the cascade, and
indicate that there is no indication that this was a result
of sabotage. Trust me, from the people I have talked to,
malice has not been completely ruled out. It simply does
not appear to have been a necessary component. Therefore, it
is strongly discounted.
I'm looking forward to finishing my review of the report and
seeing part 2 as it develops. Looks like there is some good
network reliability research to be done in this arena.
