What if the whole saga itself was a hoax? Meaning, the disappearance of the plane and its occupants was fabricated for the purpose of inducing mass trauma and tension. Nothing bad really happened to them; the plane likely flew to some clandestine military base on some island and dropped off its passengers & crew, who then assumed new identities or died from other causes. The plane itself was destroyed or renovated soon after to obscure what actually happened to it.
Dr Dunning, I don't wish to argue with or discount your opinion piece, but in Australia I believe the accepted theory as to what happened is different than that you propose. The official report (as reported in Australia) concluded the 4 most accepted possible reasons for plane loss were:
1. Pilot Involvement
2. Technical Failure
3. Hijacking or Terrorism
4. Fire or Rapid Decompression
The 4th point being what you propose is accepted fact. The AI model goes on to state that "Despite extensive searches and investigations, including the recovery of some debris, the exact cause of the crash has not been conclusively determined. The official investigation report concluded that the aircraft's deviation from its flight path was due to manual inputs but did not provide a definitive reason for the disappearance."
Accepted "by who" is the operative question. There is no authoritative body on this. People knowledgeable about aviation generally accept the theory I described; the rest generally accept what has been promoted most on television pseudo-documentaries. It certainly makes sense that Australians may heave been exposed to different claims than people in other countries.

Just my 2 cents. (And no UFOs god darn it 😆)
