I guess I'm just supposed to blindly accept the Knott Lab conclusion without them explaining how they arrived at their conclusion.
HUH??? I guess you haven't read the Knott Lab articles on their SBT trajectory analysis nor watched any of the videos on their analysis.
We all know that if the Knott Lab analysis had found the SBT to be possible, WC apologists would be endlessly pointing out that Knott Lab is a respected forensic reconstruction engineering firm and that their analysis dwarfed all previous analyses in the amount of data collected for it.
The SBT died when we learned there was no hole through JFK's tie and no nick on either edge of the tie knot. It also died when we learned that the autopsy doctors determined beyond any doubt that the back wound had no exit point, and that men around the autopsy table could see the end of the probe pushing up against the lining of the chest cavity. It also died when we learned from the released transcript of the 1/27/64 WC executive session that the first two drafts of the autopsy report said nothing about the throat wound being an exit point for the back wound (yeah, because they knew for an absolute fact that the back wound had no exit point).
But SBT believers still cannot bring themselves to face these cold, hard facts.
