Um, what?

The New Zealand Navy apparently does not know what led to the sinking of their research ship on a coral reef, but they are sure it's not the captain's fault. 

You know, that's perilously close, in my view, to flat out admitting that the captain was steering the ship and ignored the charts that clearly said that at low tide, there was no chance that ship was going to make it across that particular reef, along with "ignoring the $100 depth finder that pretty much every fisherman in Minnesota owns that would have told her it was getting really shallow."  And it's also very close to admitting "Well, her navigation scores weren't up to par, but we gave her the nod because, like Karine Jean-Pierre, she's a homosexual female."

Honestly, would it kill people in New Zealand to say "we're going to hold off on assigning, or denying, blame until the investigation is complete."?  What they're saying by doing otherwise is really incriminating.
