Yes, I've read John Corbett's latest reply. It is so loaded with evasion, distortion, deception, and error that it's not worth answering. If anyone has any questions about any of his statements, feel free to message me or post them here. Anyway, moving on. . . .

For those who might be interested, another worthwhile discussion on some of the major problems with the autopsy evidence is presented in chapter 8 of Dr. Don Thomas's 2010 book Hear No Evil: Politics, Science, & the Forensic Evidence in the Kennedy Assassination. Dr. Thomas is a retired USDA research scientist. He's had over 100 articles on biology, entomology, DNA, phylogeography, and ionizing radiation published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

He discusses the impossibility of an FMJ bullet "shearing off" a sizable fragment (or any fragment) at its entry point on a skull, the photographic and x-ray evidence of a frontal shot, the conflict between the head photos and the skull x-rays regarding missing frontal bone, and other important issues relating to the autopsy evidence.

MTG: Dr. Thomas is a retired USDA research scientist.

He's an entomologist, an expert on insects. That doesn't make him an expert on gunshot wounds or on proper autopsy procedure.

This is nothing more than an attempt at Appeal to Authority, except the "authority" isn't actually an authority.

I've been trying to explain this to MTG for weeks. So far, it hasn't taken. Maybe you will have better luck than I have.
