The emphasis in accident and indcident enquiries in aviation is to learn lessons that prevent future accidents. Whether anyone gets sacked or disciplined might of course happen, but the main emphasis is on finding the truth and learning lessons for the future.

Correct. Only when the investigation follows a "no blame culture" will anyone get to the root cause of any incident, thereby enabling new checks and balances to be put in place to prevent a repitition. When the nature of an enquiry is to find a scapegoat; mouths quickly close, memories become patchy and the guy who doesn't have teflon shoulders takes the bullet.
