You should always question assumptions. Especially when millions of dollars are being spent searching. Do you have the data, the calculation of this arc, and the review of this method or not? Do you think its strange that all the debris has washed up on the opposite side of the Indian ocean to this arc?

The debris took a long time to appear. That fits perfectly well a scenario where the plane crashed on one side of the ocean and the debris washed up on the other side.

My point (which you missed), is that it is entirely reasonable to think that the search is difficult, with a small chance of success. You don't argue with my points, because you can't. They're all 100% true, and you know it. Instead, you play the conspiracy thinking game of pushing false doubts into the narrative. > Do you think its strange that all the debris has washed up on the opposite side of the Indian ocean to this arc? i.e. you're entirely unaware as to how oceans work. This is normal for oceans. So you deny reality, and instead pretend to be skeptical by raising irrelevant details. No, you're not smarter than everyone else. No, there is no conspiracy to hide the evidence.

There's a simulation near the end that sanity checks the crash arc with where the debris washed up on the east coast of Africa. "Using the locations of confirmed debris, the Australian Government’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, the CSIRO, conducted drift modelling analysis to determine possible locations of the MH370 crash site. The results of this modelling were consistent with the search area."
