This is the good thing about the overall outcome of this incident: They now have a chance to learn from this.
It would be interesting to know from NASA if, had Ingenuity crashed and lost all COMMS, they would still know what was the cause of the issue. I mean the wrong timestamps of the images, not what caused them.
It would also be interesting to know what caused them, if it was a bug in the software, or a particle flipping a bit in the timestamping-code.
