Get-Home-Itis, Arrogance, or What?

Fuel similar in color to automotive fuel was found in both wing fuel tanks,
and in the carburetor. The fuel selector handle was found in the on
position. The engine crankshaft was rotated by hand at the propeller, which
remained attached, and valvetrain continuity was confirmed. Compression was
obtained on all cylinders, except for cylinder number 3, which was dislodged
from the crankcase. The impact damaged magneto leads were cut from the
magnetos, and rotation of both magnetos produced spark on all towers. The
spark plugs exhibited normal wear, and their electrodes were black in color.


I haven't read too many of these reports so this may be just standard
stuff, but it seems odd to me. They already determined the wings came
off in flight, why does it mater if the engine quit or not. The end
result would have still been the same.
