I agree 100%. This accident was not caused by fatigue. This accident was caused because the Captain stalled the airplane, and then insisted on pulling when he should have been pushing. Very poor airmanship at a minimum, and possibly poor training as contributing. Also contributing was poor airmanship in the right seat, not recognizing and being proactive to prevent.
Once the captain stalled the airplane, pure adrenaline, proper airmanship, and proper training take over. Citing fatigue is a scapegoat to further a seperate cause.
