Basically that plus
-Questioning how a mistake like this can happen. IgiTang (military) explained how this launcher can tell the difference between a military target and a civilian one. Points to incredible ineptitude (non professionals) or wild conspiracy. Many details would have confirmed that this was not a military target if any competent boob was at the controls
-Leader of the separatist movement posted something on its Facebook page about "We warned you not to fly in our sky" right after the plane was shot down, then quickly removed it once they realized it was civilian.
-Supposed Ukrainian communication intercept between rebels and Russia discussing shooting down a plane, then realizing it wasn't military
