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.

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.
