That is: *why* do
you believe that the plane's penetration of the ADIZ rules out the
possibility that the passenger gave correct navigational advice that the
PIC
was unconvinced by and didn't heed?

That is a possibility,

Good, we agree on that now too!

although I don't really know how someone couldn't react
to "That's the Capitol over there, and the Washington Monument, see?".

C'mon, do you really think the PIC *saw* the Capitol and *still* didn't know
where he was at that point? There's no evidence of that. (Though according
to the reports, he may have been too panicked by then to react properly,
which is why he soon ceded control to the non-pilot passenger.)
