The article stated that the wave off/abort was given too late. Does blame then revert solely to the pilot? Apparently, it does.
Of course, the pilot might have been on glide slope and made a late adjustment that made it impossible for the LSO to call, "Bolter", before the plane hit the deck. Still, the article is not very precise as to the nature of the error.

The article says the waveoff was "too late", but it doesn't say it was given to late (i.e. the LSO waved off a plane too close) or whether the waveoff was simply given too late to avoid a crash (i.e. the plane crashed anyway). Ambiguous and non-technical writing.
