At that time perhaps this was a lesser known fact, also not sure how the flaps would have behaved at that high speed they were at, flaps is not meant for cruising.

Well, we wouldn't want to damage the flaps (by extending them at speeds over Vfe), now would we... ;)

Sorry, but that is just a dumb argument.
I do not see anything wrong with anyone (even laymen) pointing to more or less obvious design flaw.
