Bugsy: Everyone agrees that the Malaysian authorities have done a terrible job. For the most part, the behavior looks more like incompetence and inexperience than a James Bond conspiracy. But some of it definitely looks like deliberate misinformation and hiding of some key factual information, especially the 10 second radar data. All that is very troubling. However, I would like to dispel any notion that the redacted Inmarsat log files have created any significant problems for scientists and engineers. All of the essential data needed for a path reconstruction is contained in the available Inmarsat logs. If we had all columns in the file, it might add a little context, but it would not change any of the path calculations.
