Well, no shit.

How many hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent to reach that conclusion.

This is what you get when you get paid for doing stuff and not results. Much like school teachers.

Several pilot guys I know said one was at the wrong altitude.

TBF, they need to do a whole comprehensive review of every element that could have contributed to the crash and assess whether any changes are needed to prevent similar accidents in the future. Were there any mechanical issues? Medical issues? Drugs/alcohol? Were they properly trained and certified? Was the weather a factor? etc

It's just in this case it was entirely human error. The Cessna was at a lower altitude and began climbing. The De Havilland probably thought the Cessna would fly under him and didn't think to maneuver.
