Bottom line, Oliver Stone is a "film maker". He's not a JFK Assassination expert by any measure. He's also 79 yrs old. I bring this up as "temperament" is also now being thrown into the Oliver Stone pot. As to Stone needing a "sidekick", people of Stone's age have an issue with staying "on track". Their maintaining a steady train of thought for more than 1 minute is often an issue. You throw in the brickbats hurled at Stone during a JFK Assassination "discussion", and this only complicates Stone's age/temperament issues. Hence his needing a sidekick. I watched JFK Assassination Expert Josiah Thompson do an interview on NewsNation about a year ago. Prior to that I watched his Sixth Floor Museum presentation concerning his 2nd Book. Thompson will turn 91 in January. Thompson needs a sidekick too.
