@ John Mytton
It’s not so much that your presentations are irrational, because there is a probability that some of the evidence and some of the witnesses are correct to some percentage that we the “jury” can overcome some of our many doubts about the general WC theory and decide that only this one kook person killed JFK without really even much of a motive other than simply “opportunity”.
You and Bill Brown are the champion defenders of the WC theory to such extent that there seems to be no willingness on your part to at least modify the general WC theory to account for some of the timeline issues.
For example, the escape timeline from the SN to the 2nd floor lunchroom is basically LOCKED to an absolute not later than 90 secs post shots, and it is often presented that the meeting most likely occurred earlier than that because of the WC time trial establishing a possible earliest time of approx 75 sec post shots.
Why does this particular time of not later than 90 secs max HAVE to be the absolute truth?
Is it because of Mrs Reid who interjected herself in the equation with her particular story of ascended to the the 2nd floor office BY HERSELF and NOT in the company of any other employees?
Note: an assertion contradicted by Geneva Hines who witnessed Reid entering the office in the company of other employees.
Why not minimize Mrs Reid similar to Carolyn Arnold, Arnold Rowland, Dorothy Garner, etc. so that the 90 sec absolute can be adjusted with some degree of reasonable probability to allow the extra time Oswald would have needed on the 6th floor to wipe his prints off the rifle, and hiding it, as well to accommodate the “rifle slowly withdrawn”sighting by Bob Jackson and Malcolm Couch?
Just 15 secs longer than 90 secs and reassessing Mrs Reid as probably mistaken about an earlier meeting seeing Oswald in just a t-shirt , would resolve the time line problem.
Also, Imo, it is a mistake to avoid Mrs Garner and to alter Victoria Adams and Sandra Styles timing issue by just claiming it was 3 minutes post shots rather than 60 secs post shots of the 2 girls reaching the ground floor.
If Mrs Reid could be minimized as an “uncertain” witness, due to her WC testimony of not really knowing the time, and Bakers own judgement that the time of meeting Oswald was probably 1min 30 secs at least ( which implies it could have been even a bit later ie: 2 min) , then the time line issue for the escape route is 90% resolved.
The remaining 10% is Mrs Garners statement of having exited the 4th floor following Victoria Adams and Sandra Styles using the phrases “almost immediately” and “right behind them”, which is a time not exactly established in terms of secs. All that is known is that apparently Mrs Garner modified her original statement of “seeing” Adams and Styles go down the stairs to “hearing them” going down when Garner reached the staircase herself.
So there WAS an opportunity by Barry Ernest who was interviewing Garner to ask the question “What exactly did you hear on the staircase” or “ Did you hear just creaking noises or did you actually hear Adams and Styles voices or heels clacking?
Unfortunately , the question still remains as to exactly when Mrs Garner exits the 4th floor office door that allows her a clear LOS to the rear staircase and could she state definitely hearing Adams/Styles or did Garner just hear creaking noises on the steps?
If the later, then the other 10% of the problem is resolved, as it would be possible for Oswald to descend in a gap of time between A/S exiting the 4th floor office and Mrs Garner exiting and the noise of creaking heard was actually Oswald.
