Wow.. Larry.. a lot of information there... you have obviously done your
research,
I'll only comment on a few areas..

INS 26nm off and the did not know it? It happens.. people bust check rides
for that. We have to take one every 18 months. I've busted people on check
rides for missing the IR entry point by 5nm. They did not know where they
are.

I'm not questioning Parker's failure to detect the navigational
equipment errors. I'm questioning Parker's judgment in choosing to
descend given the navigational indications he was receiving. You'll
see what I mean once you have time to diagram it.

Flying in an IR Route (MTR) is an IFR Clearance and provides IFR seperation
from other IFR operations.

Really? Down that low? How is separation provided?

Out in the Mojave Desert I sincerely doubt ATC radars are able to
provide low-level coverage.
